There is a large variety of postgraduate courses you can take from taught degrees, research degrees professional courses and even conversion courses if you ever decide to change direction!
Difference between a taught and research course?
Taught courses are usually 1 year long. They explore several modules and are assessed using the combination of course work, exams and a dissertation. Very similar to undergraduate study where you attend timetabled seminars and lectures.
A research course involves completing you own original academic research presenting your advanced knowledge of your field. You will still receive guidance and support from an expert supervisor.
