Fast track your Master's application
As a 2023 or 2024 graduate, you're guaranteed a conditional offer for most MA/MSc degrees, on the achievement of a good honours degree.
You can use the quick and easy Fast Track route to apply for a Master’s course. This means there’s no new application forms to complete and we won't ask you write a personal statement or submit any qualifications.
I decided to stay at ºÚÁϳԹÏfor my postgraduate studies because the department was so supportive and well suited to my research interests. My supervisor is a specialist in an area central to my research and, since I was an undergraduate student, has encouraged me to further my studies and research.
