Here at Teesside, we offer two main types of postgraduate courses - taught courses and research degrees.

Our taught postgraduate courses normally involve a formal structure of lectures, seminars, lab work (if relevant), projects and a dissertation. You cover more advanced aspects of subjects studied at undergraduate level. You receive credits for each module you pass.

Master's degrees often include intermediate awards such as a postgraduate certificate (60 credits) and a postgraduate diploma (120 credits). For a full master's degree award, you need to successfully complete 180 credits - this includes the core element of advanced independent work, such as a research project or dissertation.

Research degrees involve supervised individual investigation of a subject area culminating in a thesis. Full-time study is about 35 hours a week on research, part-time around 12.

We can tell you the price of a postgraduate degree - but that's not the same as its value. You really can't put a price on turning your dream into reality. Investing in a postgraduate degree is a big decision. Teesside University offers a range of scholarships to help support you through your studies.
