Postgraduate study

Attendance options

Flexible attendance

The great majority of our postgraduate courses offer a choice of attendance options. Typically, where it is offered, taking the full-time option will involve 12 months of study. Most courses offer the choice of part-time study too, with some available on a distance learning basis.

Take breaks from study

Intermediate awards like the postgraduate certificate (PGCert) and Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) enable students to benefit from postgraduate-level education without the time commitment required for a masters degree.

Work placement opportunities

To make the most of your university experience you may choose to spend a year on paid work placement or studying abroad.
