Best of 2019 – Our Most Popular Blogs This Year

As we reach the end of 2019, we thought that it would be worthwhile to reflect on some of our most-read blogs of the year. A running theme is ‘difference’ – between types of Masters, between undergraduate and postgraduate study, and between Masters and PhD programmes. We hope that you, our loyal readers, have found these blogs useful in your own search for a Masters.

There are plenty of fundamental differences between taught Masters and research Masters (and a few similarities!) but you might not know which one is right for you and your goals. This blog sheds some light on what these types of Masters actually involve and how you can make an informed decision on the best direction to take.
