Postgraduate Opportunities
We currently offer one year Taught Masters programmes and Research Degrees opportunities in the Colleges of Physical Sciences, Life Sciences and Medicine, and Arts and Social Sciences and are still accepting applications for September 2009.
Taught Programmes
Taught programmes are intended to impart advanced knowledge or techniques in specialised aspects of subjects previously studied more generally at undergraduate level and assist in career development. Some also serve as conversion courses, enabling students to change their area of specialisation away from that of their undergraduate studies.
The University of Aberdeen offers over 140 Taught Masters Programmes: see the on-line Postgraduate Prospectus for full details, entrance requirements and to download an application form. We currently have funding available for suitable Home/EU students in a range of subjects. For full details of funding opportunities please visit our funding database.
Research Degrees
The aim of a research degree is to provide a thorough training in a particular subject area through original exploration and experiment, culminating in the preparation of a thesis setting out the conclusions of the research undertaken. Opportunities exist in all disciplines of the University to undertake supervised research at either Doctoral or Masters level.
There are opportunities for research degrees in all 3 Colleges, for info please see:
