Course Overview

Our broadening of expertise and reputation was reflected by the QS World University Subject Rankings 2019, where the University of Huddersfield was 25th in the world for 'Performing Arts'. A Master's by Research (MA) allows you to undertake a one-year (full-time) research degree. It contains little or no formal taught component. Such programs are attractive to those wanting a briefer research degree than a Ph.D. Research Master's students choose a specific project to work on and have a greater degree of independence in their work than is the case with a taught master's course. Independent research work is supported by an extensive range of seminars, workshops, and research fora.

General Eligibility

The normal entry requirements for enrolment on a MA by Research is an Honours degree (2:1) from a UK university or a qualification of an equivalent standard, in a discipline appropriate to that of the proposed programme to be followed.

Part Time Work Details

20 Hours of Work permit weekly for international students.
