Postgraduate Courses

The University of Dundee provides an impressive portfolio of taught postgraduate courses. These cover the whole range of our academic disciplines, and are aimed at recent graduates, professionals currently in employment, and those seeking a career change.

Each postgraduate course has its own page in our course catalogue - which you can view alphabetically or organised by topic. For information on research degrees (Phd, MPhil etc), visit the research degrees website.

We offer different types of postgraduate courses:

• advanced courses, enhancing a specific aspect of your undergraduate degree
• conversion courses, if you are seeking a change of direction, or wish to enhance your employment prospects by gaining a more vocational qualification
• pre-service professional training courses, as required by professional bodies (eg Educational Psychology, Law)

Our taught postgraduate courses can be offered at three levels:

• Masters - usually 12 months full-time study, comprising taught modules, coursework, examinations and a dissertation.
• Postgraduate Diploma - usually two semesters full time (6-9 months), comprising the taught component of the Masters course, without the dissertation.
• Postgraduate Certificate - usually one semester full time (3-6 months), comprising half the taught component of the Postgraduate Diploma course.

Methods of study can be quite flexible - full-time, part-time or distance learning, visit the individual course pages for details on the methods of study, and levels available for your choice of course.
