Extended Masters

Are you looking to study for a Masters and would like additional academic support?

Intro

Our Extended Masters course will enable you to pursue postgraduate study in business or computing with extra academic support and help to improve your English language abilities.

If you don’t quite meet the initial entry requirements for a postgraduate degree, this course will help you gain the confidence to study for Level 7 in the UK.

You will be taught by dedicated speciliast and international/English language tutors and study an additional six modules over either one of two semesters, depending on your entry level, to prepare you for your chosen masters programme in computing or business.

 

 

New from September 2025

Our Extended Masters two semester programme will accept entry with a Level 5 international HND qualification (or equivalent). 
 
On this two-year programme, you will study 4 x 30 modules in year one (120 credits total at Level 6) and 6 x 30 modules in year two (180 credits at Level 7).
