As part of our vibrant postgraduate community you’ll have plenty of opportunity to network and build friendships.
Taught degrees
On a taught postgraduate degree, you’ll learn through a combination of lectures, seminars and practical work. Studying at Master’s level will involve completing advanced specialist study in a particular subject or profession and usually contains a taught element as well as a supervised dissertation or research project.
Research degrees
On a postgraduate research degree, you’ll work independently on a research topic of your own choice. You’ll be assigned a minimum of one main supervisor, who’ll be engaged in research in the relevant discipline(s) to ensure that the direction and monitoring of your progress is informed by up-to-date knowledge and developments. You’ll also receive support from skills tutors and support groups. Our research projects database enables you to search our research degrees and find specific research projects associated with that degree. Discover more at research.hud.ac.uk
Fitting studies around you
Most of our taught postgraduate degrees and all of our research degrees can be studied full-time or part-time and some courses offer distance learning. You can also consider undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma; these qualifications are steps toward a Master’s degree, are internationally recognised and can be built upon in the future. If you require a Student visa to study in the UK you will not be able to study part-time with this visa. However, if you have another type of visa that permits study in the UK, part-time study may be possible for you.
Master’s courses with placement
Some postgraduate degrees also offer the opportunity to undertake an additional 6- month placement at the end of the 12-month programme. This enables students with limited experience to put the skills and techniques developed throughout the Master’s degree into practice. Visit pages 122-123 for the eligible courses.
