A taught postgraduate degree is a structured degree of study consisting of a number of modules in specialist subjects which can prepare a student for a particular professional career. Taught programmes are designed to develop knowledge in specialised subjects previously studied more generally. A few Master's programmes act as "conversion courses", allowing you to change your area of specialisation from that undertaken at undergraduate level. A taught course will often involve attending lectures and seminars or possibly working in the lab if undertaking a science-based course. Assessment is usually exam-based and through written assignments at the end of each module. To gain a Master's degree, you are often expected to complete a dissertation. Taught degrees typically last 1 year full-time, or 2/3 years if studying part-time. A research degree provides you with the opportunity to research a specific area or topic in depth. Research degrees are more focused on independent study. Some research degrees do involve a taught element, particularly Master's by Research (including EngD) degrees. As a research student, you will be provided with guidance and support by your supervisor and the facilities to conduct your research. Your research should result in a unique piece of work involving new knowledge in your chosen subject area. Assessment is based upon your final thesis and an oral examination (viva-voce). Research degrees vary in duration. MRes and Master's by Research degrees are typically pursued over 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time. PhDs last at least 3 years full-time, or 6 years part-time.
