Graduate and Postgraduate Study
Welcome to the College of Arts pages for graduate and postgraduate students. Our two Faculties, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Creative Arts, offer exciting graduate and postgraduate study and research opportunities. It is an opportunity for you to obtain advanced knowledge about specialist topics and/or carry out original research. Our postgraduate programmes aim to foster intellectual independence, critical thinking, and excellence in every field.
Graduate and Postgraduate Qualifications
Our two Faculties offer postgraduate diplomas, honours, master's and PhD degrees, as well as several graduate diplomas. Some of these qualifications consist of a combination of coursework and research; others are solely research-based. Most qualifications require at least one year of full-time study. The majority can be undertaken part-time, and some programmes can be enrolled in extramurally. More>>
