Postgraduate courses

Our taught master’s typically last one year full-time, or up to two years if it includes a work placement. Master’s qualifications include LLM (International Law), MA (Arts), MArch (Architecture), MEng (Engineering) and MSc (Science).

Shorter Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate options are available for some courses.

Pre-Masters courses will improve your study skills, subject knowledge and academic English so you are ready for a master’s degree in the UK.

Research degrees are based on critically investigating and evaluating approved topics and presenting and defending a substantial thesis (written paper).

Research degree awards can either be a Master of Philosophy (MPhil), usually requiring two years of full-time study, or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), usually requiring three years of study.
