Postgraduate study
Postgraduate study is the next step on your academic journey after completing an undergraduate degree—whether you’ve just finished your degree or you’re returning to study after some time away.
Dive deeper into a subject you love, explore new ideas through research, or unlock new career options. Whatever your goals, postgraduate study helps you take your next step with purpose and passion.

Postgraduate taught

Postgraduate research
Work closely with a supervisor to produce original research, typically over the course of two to four years.
