Explore postgraduate study at UON, the University where you can be anything.

Choosing a postgraduate 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. Whether you’re looking to advance your career, or just want to delve deeper into a subject you’re passionate about, we cover a wide variety of subject areas, to include Accounting & Finance, Computing, Public & Professional Healthcare, Education & Teacher Training and an MBA, so we encourage you to take a look and find the right one for you.

Our purpose-built campus is designed around you and our active 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.

Perhaps you’re looking for a course you can study part-time or from home? We offer many courses on a distance learning basis, giving you the flexibility to learn when it suits you.

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 postgraduate 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 MA 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.”
