What level of study is right for you?
Postgraduate Awards (PGAs) can be a great way back into higher education if you haven’t studied for a while or to give your career an extra boost.
They offer a concentrated period of study, usually over a week, to enable you to delve into the subject area and get the most out of your studies. You'll work alongside like-minded professionals, taught by academics active in the field in which you are studying.
We run PGAs in a range of subject areas across the academic year, and if you decide you want to study more modules with us in the future, you can upgrade your award to a postgraduate certificate or a postgraduate diploma.
