Short Courses: Professional Development with Flexible Study Options

Our modular Masters programme is based on a comprehensive menu of taught modules. Because we understand the many demands on our students’ time, most of the teaching takes place in the evening, at the weekend or online; full-time or part-time study is available.

The flexible study options within the modular Masters programme provide a cost-effective way to accommodate your personal and work commitments.  Maybe you are nervous of returning to study after a break or perhaps you feel daunted by the prospect of studying for a full Master’s degree over four or five years? Why not study just one module instead and earn a Certificate of Attendance. 

You may also exit from any of our modular Master’s programmes with an Advanced Certificate (typically 1 year) by successfully completing two taught modules; completing four taught modules means a you could exit with a Diploma of Advanced Study in Education (typically two years). This might be of particular interest if you want to increase your knowledge and skills in a particular specialism, e.g. Autistic Spectrum Disorders or Special Needs Education, in less time.

If you’re interested in studying one or two modules please contact the Education Secretary (tel: 028 9097 5923, education@qub.ac.uk) for advice.
