Our expert academics are delivering bitesize lectures on topics ranging from politics to poisons, introducing you to some of the concepts and ideas you could be exploring during your Master's degree.
Taught Programmes
Our taught programmes are structured in a similar way to undergraduate study, with a set timetable of lectures and seminars. The courses include taught modules that are individually assessed, and an individual research-based project supervised by an academic with expertise in the subject. Full-time programmes normally take 12 months to complete. Some programmes are conversion courses, so you can explore a completely new subject without prior study in the area. Find out more on our course pages.
Research Degrees
For students wanting to focus on a specific area of study and make an original contribution to knowledge, we offer a range of research degrees, including an MA/MSc by Research, MPhil, and PhD. A significant proportion of your time will be spent in independent study during these programmes, and your research is conducted under the supervision of experienced academics with specialist knowledge.
