Choosing a Master's course from our diverse course portfolio is a fantastic way to widen your career prospects and gain more detailed knowledge of a particular subject area that you find interesting.

We know that sharing knowledge, supporting creativity and always looking for ways to make a positive difference will enable you to be exactly who you want to be.

Our purpose-built campus is designed around you and our blended learning style of teaching, enhanced by new technology and excellent academic teams with strong industry links, ensures you’ll be taught the way you actually learn, rather than the way you’re expected to.

Postgraduate Funding Support

Did you know you may be eligible to apply for a postgraduate loan of up to £11,836 (2022/2023 academic year, subject to annual change). We also have a number of scholarships and bursaries that our postgraduate students can apply for, plus University of Northampton alumni can apply for a 20% discount on the full tuition fee for their course.

One of UK’s leading Universities for employability

We understand that your Master's degree isn’t just an investment, it’s a pathway to achieving your dream career. Our Careers and Employability team are dedicated to equipping you with the skills to thrive, adapt and innovate in our ever-changing world.

Our unique Graduate Attributes Framework highlights the skills that employers tell us they are looking for in Graduates and forms the basis of our support. By using this model, we’ve created an employability offer that we believe will ensure that our graduates will stand out from the crowd, are socially responsible, digitally proficient, and highly employable global citizens – the Changemakers of the future.

“Choosing to remain at the University of Northampton for my Master's was an easy decision, because of the wonderful time I had during my undergraduate study. The UON experience is very supportive, encouraging and motivational and I’ve always been impressed by the level of support and knowledge provided by both the academic and non-academic staff.”
