Postgraduate study

Whether you’re interested in postgraduate study with a particular subject or career in mind, to learn new skills or gain fresh insights, or take the next step towards a doctorate award, we can offer you a highly engaging learning experience.

Postgraduate study allows you to develop a deeper knowledge and comprehensive understanding of topics you may have previously studied at undergraduate level or that you are looking to newly explore.

How to apply

Most postgraduate courses require you to apply directly to the University and usually you will need to complete an online application with a supporting statement. For some courses, such as PGCEs, you will need to use other systems. Always check how you need to apply. You can apply for more than one course at the same time.
