What are the differences between taught and research postgraduate programmes?
Taught postgraduate degrees are generally designed to develop knowledge or techniques in specialised subjects previously studied more generally. They usually involve a combination of coursework, assessment and often an independent project.

Research programmes are opportunities to undertake supervised research at either doctoral or masters level. The aim of a research degree is to provide a thorough training in a particular discipline area through original investigation and experiment. The precise focus of research is agreed between you and your supervisor.
