We know that it is a big commitment to undertake a Masters degree, particularly when you are trying to balance a professional career with the demands of a family and social life. That is why we offer you the chance to take single modules of our Masters programmes. Some people use these modules to meet their professional CPD requirements. Some take only one module on a subject of specific interest to them. Others use them to build towards a Post-Graduate Diploma or eventually a Masters degree.
Although it takes much longer, for many of us this is the only realistic option to achieve our goals.
You can register for Open Access modules, even if you don't have the qualifications to enter a Masters programme by the normal route. The story of Peter Philips shows how taking a few Open Access modules allowed him to change course into a very successful environmental career.
The list below shows which modules are available by open access. Please contact Dr Janey Andrews for more information about specific modules.
