Take a taught course, and update your knowledge in rapidly changing technical or social science fields, or learn advanced techniques in subjects you studied at undergraduate level.
A master's degree can provide you with a platform for further research or can help you change career focus. It also shows you have high-level generic skills and advanced specialist knowledge to give you a boost in a competitive job market.
As a taught postgraduate student, you will combine traditional seminars, lectures, and tutorials with independent project-based investigation. Full-time programmes normally last for nine or twelve months.
