Postgraduate Taught Degrees

Whether you've just completed your undergraduate degree and want to continue your studies or you are looking to return to higher education after a break, you may be interested in taking a postgraduate taught course.   

What are postgraduate taught degrees?  

Typically taught over the course of one academic year and normally following an undergraduate/Bachelor's degree or equivalent, these advanced courses will enable you to obtain one of three types of qualification: a masters degree, postgraduate diploma or postgraduate certificate. Naturally, part-time courses take longer to complete.  

At UEA, we offer a wide variety of postgraduate taught courses covering a vast range of topics, from counselling, environmental law, and sustainable development, through to advanced computing science and clinical education. Browse our course finder or check out the list below to find out more about what's available.   

How much do postgraduate taught courses cost?  

Fees for our postgraduate taught courses vary depending on the subject, its duration and whether you’re an EU or international student. For UK/EU students, postgrad taught course fees range from £5,000 to £19,000, with the standard fee currently standing at £7,150. The annual fee for part-time courses is halved in most cases, and special payment arrangements can be made for selected courses.  

The standard fee for international students on postgraduate taught courses is £14,500, but some taught courses may cost up to £30,000. Please see our postgraduate taught courses fees page for more details.  

What funding options are available for taught postgraduate courses?  

A postgraduate taught degree can do so much for your career prospects, as it will help you stand out from other candidates and give you expert knowledge in your chosen field, which is why we offer a range of financial support for these courses.   

From postgraduate loans, to scholarships and bursaries, learn more about your taught postgraduate funding options.
