Choosing your course

Over 180 postgraduate taught courses to choose from: including graduate certificates / diplomas, postgraduate certificates / diplomas and Master's degrees.

Graduate Certificates / Diplomas

  • These programmes are taught at final-year undergraduate level, and are typically used as a qualifying or refresher course before you embark on a full Master’s degree programme.
  • They also provide a useful entry route to postgraduate-level study for students who have significant work experience or a professional background that is relevant to a particular course of study.

Postgraduate Certificates/Diplomas

  • Taught at a higher level than Graduate Certificates/ Diplomas, these are ideal for graduates who want to update their knowledge in a specialist field, without undertaking a full Master’s degree.

Master’s degrees (MA / MSc / MRes / LLM)

  • At Master’s level, you can choose from over 150 programmes, most of which are taught, but a few of which allow you to concentrate on your research.
  • Most are taught in the evenings, but we also offer some Master’s degrees by e-learning, whereas others are taught in the daytime.
