On-campus postgraduate study at Lincoln is divided into two areas: taught and research programmes. What type of programme is right for you depends on a number of factors, including your current stage of study and your career aspirations.
Taught Programmes
Our taught programmes are structured in a similar way to undergraduate study, with a set timetable of lectures and seminars. The courses include taught modules that are individually assessed and an individual research-based project supervised by an academic with expertise in the subject area. Full-time programmes normally take 12 months to complete.
Some of our taught programmes are conversion courses, which allow you to study a completely new subject without prior study in the area. You can find out more about these on our course pages in the entry requirements section, or by contacting the Postgraduate Team.
Research Degrees
For students wanting to focus on a specific area of study and make an original contribution to knowledge, we offer a range of research degrees, including an MA/MSc by Research, MPhil, and PhD. A significant proportion of your time will be spent in independent study during these programmes, and your research is conducted under the supervision of experienced academics with specialist knowledge.
This gives the user a dropdown menu that will display all active years for a prospectus level (e.g. UG). On selecting a year the user will be taken directly to the T4 page that contains the relevant DotDigital form.
We offer a range of alternative and flexible approaches to study, including online Master’s degrees, short courses, and distance-learning programmes that can help to boost your career prospects and give you the opportunities to develop new skills.
Once you've chose the right programme for you, you can make an application via the course pages on our website. The process of submitting an application for a postgraduate degree will depend upon the level of programme you are applying for (e.g. taught or research). You can find out more on our How to Apply pages.
