Our brand new ‘add-on’, online research coursework degrees are going ahead in 2021!
These qualifications are perfect if you are completing or have completed your undergraduate or postgraduate degrees to a high level, are interested in exploring and investigating a topic more deeply or simply curious in how you can progress new understandings in your field of study.

There will be opportunities to learn foundational research skills, enhance your qualification/skill set, demonstrate that you can challenge yourself, work with a favourite lecturer and further develop your subject expertise by being part of world class research communities.
