Postgraduate Search

Postgraduate search is dedicated to postgraduate courses listings in the UK. Regularly updated, it is the most complete listing of taught masters degrees and research programmes available.

Postgraduate Search allows you to search by qualification, subject, region, study mode (part time, full time etc.) or institution.

By Qualification

Perhaps you are considering adding a teaching qualification to your existing qualifications. PGCE courses concentrate on developing your teaching skills since a knowledge of your chosen subject is assumed. PGCE's are proving increasingly popular, and Postgraduate Search allows you to browse all the PGCE courses in London, for example, PGCE's in Exeter (including the University of Exeter's PGCE courses) or your search could be limited to only PGCE History courses offered by Manchester Metropolitan University.

Taught Masters

Taught Masters degree programs generally refer to subject specific masters degrees, such as an MSc, MA, LLM (law and legal studies masters), or MBA (Master of Business Administration.)

MBA

Currently, MBA's are proving particularly popular whilst people look to recession proof their careers. Although a business qualification, MBA's can be done in a variety of subjects, adding business skills to core subject knowledge. For example, an MBA in Computer Science could allow progression to management level of an IT department, with attend improvement in career prospects. People working in the travel and tourism industry may find that an MBA in Tourism will open up new career opportunities or possibly make them invaluable in their current position.

Research Programmes

Research programmes - PhD and Doctorate programmes - generally involve a component of original research which contributes a body of knowledge to the field. Often independent funded, the availability of research studentships varies from subject to subject. Particularly in the social studies, an MPhil is often completed before a doctorate is undertaken.

Popular Subjects

Particularly at a time of recession, people are looking for training in subject areas that will provide steady employment and safeguard careers for the foreseeable future. Below is our roundup of what we regularly see people looking for across out sites:

IT

IT always figures on lists of wise career choices, and for good reason. Even in a recession, few companies will reduce their IT budgets by too much, particularly when targeted IT spend can mean savings. Whilst there are many available career paths in IT, perennial favourites include Microsoft Certifications and Cisco Training. On the Microsoft side, training in the various Office applications: Excel, Access, Powerpoint are always in demand.

There is still a nationwide shortage of qualified plumbers, so a plumbing apprenticeship is becoming an increasingly popular option for those looking to change carreer. A Plumbing NVQ is another option for entry into the plumbing trade.

Good teachers are always in demand, and teaching can be a sound long term career options. NVQ Teaching, NVQ Teacher training and NVQ Teaching Assistant courses are proving popular.

Hair and Beauty

Tempted by hairdressing? Beauty therapy? Fancy a career as a nail technician? The majority of people training for a career in hair and beauty will take a series of NVQs. Training for a career in hairdressing will often start with an NVQ Level 1 in Hairdressing, an introductory course covering the basics of shampooing, health and safety, perming and gazing out of the window in a nonchalant manner. Once level 2 and level 3 have been attained, a professional level of personal proficiency will have been attained.

Sales

Although traditionally, businesses will tend to cut back on training spend during a recession, the latest one is proving to be different. Companies now realise that losing a competitive edge by taking shortcuts on training staff is not a wise move. A comprehensive course of sales training can make the difference between a high achieving sales force or a mediocre one.
