FAQs

  • Usually in September and January. The appropriate course page will tell you if the course is available in January (or alternative start date).

  • 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.

  • A copy of your current or final academic transcripts (and official translations, if not in English) A copy of your Bachelor and/or Master’s degree (and official translations, if not in English) Personal statement outlining the reasons you wish to pursue your course of study Curriculum Vitae/Resume (you must include this if you are applying on the basis of experience) IELTS test report form (if English is not your first language) or other recognised English language test (see our English Language pages). Copy of the personal details' page of your passport (non-UK/RoI applicants only) Portfolio of work (e.g. MA Creative Writing) or Research Abstract (e.g. MSc Clinical Psychology and Mental Health). It is strongly recommended that you check the course page for the course you are applying for as specific documents may be required.
