generally lasting for  just one year compared to two-year Masters programmes found elsewhere in the world.

postgraduate degree.

Administration  (MBA) and Master of Engineering (MEng), with each lasting 1-2 years full-time.
On a taught programme, students are expected to attend weekly seminars, tutorials and lectures, much like an 
undergraduate  degree, and assessment can be via exam, dissertation or project.
Research Masters
A Research degree will see students take more responsibility for their work and schedule, basing their study around 
a thesis while  being supervised by an academic. The most popular research degree is a PhD, which can take 3-4 
years to complete, and consists  of writing a thesis between 60,000 – 100,000 words which is then presented in an 
oral examination.
Other types of Research degree include the Master of Science (MSc), Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Master 
of Research  (MRes). These degrees are similar to a PhD, but not as academically demanding with papers 
being much shorter.
How much does a Masters cost?
The average cost of a postgraduate and Masters degree in the UK for an international student is £12,400. Tuition 
fees at  postgraduate level vary on the type of Masters you wish to study, which part of the UK you wish to live, 
and what university you  attend.
Postgraduate schools in the UK are far less expensive than graduate schools in the USA, and studying in the UK 
can be 30 to 60  per cent cheaper than American equivalents.
