BOOK YOUR PLACE

One size does not fit all

We realise that when it comes to postgraduate study, one size does not fit all. That's why we are incredibly flexible in all aspects of our postgraduate qualifications - from their length and start date, to their entry requirements.

We give our students plenty of options regarding how and when they study, such as full or part-time study, varied start dates, distance learning, advanced entry and much more.

We also take into account a person's work and life experience when considering your acceptance onto a course.

This all means that we're sure that we have an option that would work for you - just take a look.

How and when you can study

Full-time study is available for many courses and this means that usually you would complete the course in just one year.

Search our courses for full-time options

This is a great option if you are not based in Leeds. It gives you the freedom to learn from the comfort of your own home - no matter where in the world that may be. Check out our distance learning courses online.

How Distance Learning works

You can study a postgraduate degree part-time. This usually means studying one day a week for two years. Most of our courses provide a part-time option.

Search our courses for part-time options

Start dates for our postgraduate courses can vary by course. Some of our courses allow you to start in the following months:

January
April
May
September

This gives you the flexibility to start your course at a time that works for you. Please see the individual course pages on our online prospectus for start date options.

Working a minimum of a 40 hour week can be hard to maintain a work-life-study balance, but that is why a part time distance learning course was so ideal. On my days off, lunch breaks or even when I am travelling around, I am able to watch a lecture, complete the weekly tasks and spend a day or two in my local library to complete the assessments.

HEAR FROM OUR STUDENTS

Student blog | Tips on how to stop procrastinating

"Overall, my greatest tip to you is to aim for good, not perfect. Procrastinating never helps you get closer to your goal but attempting your work for fifteen minutes will. Make sure to plan everything you want to achieve and set up a workspace where you know you are likely to focus the most."

Aphrael MSc Management and Marketing

Student blog | How to stay motivated

"Making a to-do list really works for a lot of people. Breaking down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable elements, often makes the process more streamlined and allows you to be more productive and motivated."
