MSc Courses: Flexible Learning Options We know that many students have jobs, families and other commitments alongside their passion for sustainability. We offer flexible learning options to enable you to build your knowledge and skills without sacrificing other areas of your life. Choose between part-time and full-time, residential or distance (or a blend of the two), and decide what level of study you’d like to pursue.
Full-time or Part-time? All of our postgraduate degrees are available on a fulltime or part-time basis. Full-time study on an MSc will take between 6 and 18 months, depending on which level of study you choose. Part-time study on an MSc allows you to spread your module choices out across two years or more. All new students start in September.
Which Level of Study? MSc awards require core and optional modules (120 credits) plus a compulsory dissertation (60 credits). Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) awards require core and optional modules (120 credits) Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) awards require core and optional modules (60 credits) You’ll find information about the number of credits for each module in the courses pages.
