Postgraduate Degree

In the United Kingdom, a postgraduate or masters course follows the completion of an undergraduate degree and usually lasts one year, as opposed to the two-year Masters programs seen elsewhere in the world. With a highly regarded UK postgraduate degree, international students will save time, money, and start their careers much sooner.

The United Kingdom is home to some of the world’s best universities, known for their teaching and research excellence. Employers value postgraduate degrees from the United Kingdom, and foreign students studying in the UK have the ability to develop their English whilst immersing themselves in a diverse and exciting group of academics and students. You will be able to:

• Improve your career prospects
• Gain an internationally recognized qualification
• Earn more over the course of your career because of the weight a UK Masters carries
• Be able to shape study around your schedule

According to a report conducted by the Higher Education Statistics Agency, 86% of students who completed a Postgraduate Masters in the UK were employed full-time after graduation, compared to just 75% of undergraduate leavers.

Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc), Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Master of Engineering (MEng) are the four major categories of taught programs, each lasting 1-2 years full-time.

A taught curriculum requires students to attend weekly workshops, tutorials, and lectures, similar to an undergraduate degree, and evaluation may be done via an exam, dissertation, or project.

Students with a Research degree would be more responsible for their assignments and schedules, with their studies centered on a thesis and supervised by an academic. A Ph.D. is the most common research degree, which takes three to four years to complete and entails writing a thesis of 60,000 to 100,000 words that are then presented in an oral review.

Master of Science (MSc), Master of Philosophy (MPhil), and Master of Research are all examples of research degrees (MRes). These degrees are equivalent to a Ph.D., but they are less academically demanding, with shorter papers.

Postgraduate education in the UK is significantly less costly than in the United States, and studying in the UK can be 30 to 60% less expensive than in the United States.
