Ways of studying for postgraduate qualifications

- Online Learning.

How do I find the right postgraduate course?
Postgraduate courses are very specialised. There are a number of ways to find the right course:
- Use Prospects, Hobsons and Targetcourses
- The Education Guardian publishes a full course guide.
- Look for a particular university or college in the UK
Courses can be vocational and may include work experience or a professional qualification. Some may be more academic and concentrate on high-level study of a particular field, without any particular career connections.
There is no central organisation to apply to . You can apply for as many as you wish.
