Fees in pounds sterling for the academic year shown, for the whole master’s unless stated. “Per course” means the university publishes a fee for each degree: ask us for the exact figure. IELTS is the typical overall score; most universities also accept PTE Academic, LanguageCert and other tests, and a pre-sessional course can replace a new test.

Entry for a direct-entry master’s is normally a bachelor’s degree at the required class (often a UK 2:2 equivalent) in a related subject. If your grade, subject or English is lower, the same universities offer a pre-master’s or Graduate Certificate route: see each institution’s section.

“Advanced Practice” (Ulster and Northumbria London) adds a 15-week term or 60-credit module after the taught year: an internship you find with the university’s help, or an applied consultancy or research project if you do not. A placement is not guaranteed and the degree is awarded either way.
