Postgraduate Study at Hull

Some 30 students, from Britain and abroad, are enrolled each year in our certificate, diploma and MA or MRes taught courses, or are pursuing individual research projects for the MPhil or PhD. They form an intellectually stimulating and socially supportive international community of postgraduate students. Diploma courses are identical in content and structure to the one-year MAs but require no dissertation. Each of the MAs and the MRes can be taken full-time in the course of one year, or part-time over two years, half the modules being taken in each year. 

All postgraduate students have ready access to the University's central library and computing services. Registration for our postgraduate programmes also gives automatic membership of our purpose-designed Graduate School with access to its 80 networked computers and common-rooms, open 24 hours, seven days a week, including public holidays.
