Postgraduate Students

We have an active cohort of postgraduates studying for MSc, MA, MRes and PhD awards across all the subject areas represented on campus. In the friendly environment here, you can be sure that there are great opportunities for support and collaboration whatever level of study you may be at.

Most departments offer study at MSc, MA or MRes level in addition to undergraduate options. These courses provide opportunities for further study to students who have undertaken their undergraduate degree on campus and also for students new to the campus looking for specialised courses in their areas of interest.

With a diverse range of subjects represented on campus, from Biological Sciences to Digital Media and from Performance to Business there are lots of options to choose from.

Taught Courses

If you're interested in advanced taught programmes of study that follow a fixed schedule and are based predominantly around material delivered by lecturers, a taught masters programme may be for you. In full-time study mode, these programmes usually feature two semesters of taught material followed by a summer research project in which students undertake original research under the supervision of an academic expert in the field.

MRes

If you're more interested in pursuing research-focused Masters-level study then an MRes programme may be for you. These can act as useful foundations for entry to PhD-level study or as self-contained opportunities for valuable training and research.

PhD

If you've completed undergraduate or Masters level study but still have a thirst for more knowledge and to test new ideas, why not consider studying for a PhD? A PhD takes 3 years full-time or 5 years part-time. Depending on the circumstances under which you enrol it may not cost you a penny in fees. In certain circumstances, you may be eligible for a funded PhD place during which you could be paid for undertaking your studies or for work done within your department alongside your studies.

While the commitment required to achieve a PhD certainly should not be underestimated, there is lots of support available and if you are interested we would encourage you to get in touch and discuss your options with us.
