Postgraduate conversion courses
Are you wanting to change your career path but studied something at undergraduate degree level which doesn't suit the direction you want your career to go in?
Our postgraduate conversion courses offer an opportunity for you seeking to pivot into something new.
What is a postgraduate conversion course?
A conversion course is like a crash course that helps graduates dive into a new subject or career path. Usually offered at the master's level, these programmes focus more on hands-on training rather than long research papers. They're perfect for undergraduates who want to switch careers without starting from scratch. For example, there's the Global MBA, or the MSc 3D Design for Virtual Environments or there is the option to change into a career in marketing with the MSc Marketing (one year and with prof practice).
These courses offer different study options to fit various career goals and backgrounds.
