Postgraduate taught routes include PgC, PgD, MSc, MEng, MProf and MRes qualifications. A full-time student can achieve their master’s degree in one year, while a part-time student can expect this to take a little longer depending on how many modules are completed each year.
The part-time option is popular with students wishing to fit study around work and personal commitments, but full-time works for those with commitments too. Postgraduate degrees at Harper Adams are delivered through ‘block-based study’, with each module being delivered in blocks of on-campus, face-to-face teaching that last one or two weeks. In addition to this, students will be required to conduct further self-study away from campus. They will be fully supported via ‘The Learning Hub’, the university’s interactive virtual learning environment which has a range of learning aids.
There is an MRes option on most subjects, combining taught modules with an in-depth research project, for students who wish to enter research-based careers. The university also offers a number of MPhil and PhD opportunities across all departments.
All courses are underpinned by Harper Adams University’s extensive research and long-standing collaborations with other research institutes in the UK and abroad. Many are also accredited by relevant professional associations.
Harper Adams University students on Postgraduate Search say:
“The block base is good if you have a job elsewhere as it gives you time to do both study and work”
“The practical aspects of the courses allowing us to gain hands on experience directly related to our subject areas.”
“Class discussions were a great experience and really added to the modules.”
