- You can graduate on campus – our online and campus students graduate together, side by side.

- You could start with a short course and build to a Masters degree
-
If you are unable to commit to a full-time, on-campus degree, our online short courses offer a flexible, affordable entry route to some of our online Masters degrees.
Our Masters-level online short courses can help you start studying for a Masters degree if:
- You do not meet the Masters degree’s formal entry requirements
- You’ve missed the degree’s application deadline, or
- You want to start your postgraduate studies without committing to a full degree.
