Want to pursue a Postgraduate degree but need some extra support to start studying for your Master’s? Then our Extended Masters programmes are specially designed for you.
An Extended Masters provides a bridging route for students who don’t meet the initial entry requirements for a Master’s degree. It’s a pathway to a full-time Master’s with Ulster University Branch Campuses.
Upon completing an integrated Graduate Certificate, students will have enhanced their subject knowledge, study skills and academic language which will enable them to progress onto our industry focused MSc postgraduate degrees.
What is the timeline for an Extended Masters?
First, you will complete a Graduate Certificate which takes 3 months to complete. 3 modules (Research Methods for Postgraduate Studies, Academic Essentials and Enterprise Development) need to be completed successfully. Upon successfully finishing this programme, you will have gained the skills and confidence to progress onto a Masters.
You then complete a Master’s programme in your chosen subject which takes 12 months to complete. This will be taught through a mixture of lectures, seminars, workshops and visits from industry expert speakers. Assessments are based on coursework and in-class tests.
