Interested in our Master's course but don't feel qualified?

Tuesday 17th September 2024

You might be familiar with our Introduction to Postgraduate Academic Skills course, but do you know why it's offered and who can benefit from it? 

This course is aimed at those that don't already have a degree. It will enable you to gain the necessary skills required for post-graduate study, and gain a pathway on to the full MA.

We've covered everything you need to know in this short video:

As part of our journey to inclusivity, this course aims to remove some of the barriers identified in the higher education system. The pathway focuses on training academic formulae alongside facilitating writing practice. We work intensively with students over a three-month period and train them in the art of academic writing. They learn literature research strategies, engage in literature research and submit multiple drafts until they reach MA standard. While not equivalent to a degree, it enables individuals who were previously disadvantaged or dissuaded from university to gain access to tertiary education. With personal tuition and continuous support, progression is facilitated providing a firm foundation for continued success.

"I’ve had a really positive experience with the course, you’re taken through it step by step and it allows you the space to develop your academic writing skills and learn about new topics that support your professional practise." - Sarah Williams
