Studying with us

Taught

courses

Studying a taught postgraduate course marks a

significant change from an undergraduate degree.

Overall, you can expect the content to be more

academically challenging and involve a greater level

of specialist subject knowledge. You will be expected

to work more independently, think critically, and

challenge ideas.

Although formal timetabled lectures and tutorials

are still part of the course, your contact hours

may be less frequent than on your undergraduate

degree, and you will need to be more self-directed

in your learning when it comes to building your

research knowledge and expertise.

Read on to find out what our students have

to say about studying a taught degree and the

differences they found between undergraduate

and postgraduate study.
