Postgraduate taught vs postgraduate research: what’s the difference?
Let’s shed some light.
Postgraduate taught degrees are like undergraduate study, but you specialise and really get under the skin of your subject. Usually, they’re one-year courses. We also offer part-time, online options over two years – perfect if you want to keep working while you study.
You can also choose a postgraduate research degree. A Master of Research (MRes) is usually one year. Or you can take a PhD, which takes three to four years. Some PhDs are even funded, so you can get paid while you learn.
Got a question? Fire away.
