Short courses
Students applying for Short courses should normally satisfy the entrance requirements for the MSc/Postgraduate Diploma. However, if you do not hold such qualifications, the University will still consider your application. Upon successful completion of two short courses, you will then be considered for entry to the Postgraduate Diploma or MSc degree programmes.

" The tutors were always willing to make contact in times of need and there was an online network of students who were keen to share the ups and downs of study. I have moved from being a wary student who had been out of the academic world for years to an eager student who has been accepted for a part-time PhD."
