Postgraduate prospectus

Postgraduate study: areas of research and study

Most of our taught courses and research degrees are available as part-time study to Home and EU students and those international students whose visa conditions permit it.

Part-time study is normally undertaken on a half-time basis, with the programme being completed in twice the duration of the full-time equivalent, eg 24 months for a Masters course. There is no fixed pattern for the teaching of part-time study and attendance requirements may vary in volume and timing, from year to year and from programme to programme. Several taught courses can be studied on a modular basis, whereby the total volume of credit for the award is accumulated over an extended period (up to six years for a Masters course).
