Our distance learning master's degrees are designed to help you achieve your goals and advance your professional development. With a focus on the future, our postgraduate degree courses provide a unique online learning opportunity to explore and expand your knowledge and skills, all while studying from the comfort of your own home.A Master's degree (often just called a Master's) is a postgraduate degree that usually follows an undergraduate degree. It normally lasts one to two years.
During a Master's course, students may carry out advanced coursework. They will often do research and projects related to their chosen subject.
European universities offer a diverse range of Master's programmes across various disciplines. Many universities offer flexible study options, including full-time, part-time, and online courses.
A Masters degree is a Level 7 qualification - placing them above Bachelors degrees but below PhDs. Study is intense and typically involves completing a series of modules and writing a dissertation. In Europe, Masters degrees are worth 180 credits.
While having a Masters qualification can greatly improve your career prospects, the high costs and academic demands mean this method of postgraduate study isn't for everyone, so research your options thoroughly before deciding to pursue this route.
How long is a Masters degree in Europe?
Full-time-ONLINE/CAMPUS Masters usually involve one or two years of study, while part-time -ONLINE programmes last between two and four years.
What’s the difference between undergraduate and postgraduate study?
The term 'undergraduate' refers to first-degree students studying for a Bachelors degree, while 'postgraduate' is used to describe graduate students studying a second-cycle qualification, typically a Masters, postgraduate certificate (PGCert) or diploma (PGDip). The term 'postgraduate' is also used to describe those studying PhDs.
Compared with undergraduate degrees, Masters degrees are usually:
- focused on one particular area of a wider subject, giving students a greater amount of specialist knowledge
- more flexible in terms of modules and study options
- more intense, advanced and faster-paced
- smaller in terms of class size
- cheaper (but more expensive than PGCerts, PGDips and PhDs).
