Postgraduate
Degrees:
There
is wealth of postgraduate courses now available and the choice can be
daunting. Your final choice will depend on what you want to achieve by
taking a postgraduate course. Do you feel passionately enough about your
first degree subject to want to pursue it further? If so, a research based
higher degree - either a Master's or a Doctorate could be the answer. Or,
have three years of study put you off - have you decided to change tack
entirely? Then a conversion course, or a postgraduate certificate or
diploma in a more vocational area, both of which would be taught rather
than research based, could be the way forward.
Before
making your choice it is worth noting that, as with other areas of
education, postgraduate study is changing. As well as the traditional
tailor-made course of study offered for higher degrees (Master's and
Doctorates) there are an increasing number of courses, which combine both
research and taught elements.
Entry Requirement:
In
general, the minimum qualification for admission is Second Class, Division
Two, Honours degree or its equivalent. When an applicants wishes to be
considered for entry to a taught course on the bases on age and relevant
experience, information about previous training and experience should be
attached to the standard application form.
