Introduction to master’s study
We held two seminar sessions on 17 October to answer just these sorts of questions. They were put together to give you an idea of the types of course that students in your subject area typically go on to do, and what the step up from undergraduate to master’s study is actually like in practice.
You can catch up by watching the relevant lecture podcast below.
Biological Sciences
This session is chaired by the PGT Director for the School of Biological Sciences, and gives an overview of the types of taught master’s Biosciences students go on to do at the University of Manchester and beyond, including the Scientist Training Programme. You’ll hear how a master’s can prepare you for PhD applications, or support you in a non-research career. You’ll also hear from the Researcher Development Team on the level of study expected at master’s level, and hear the audience quiz current students during a Q&A session.
Humanities (English and Economics)
This session is chaired by Louise Sethi, Careers Consultant for Humanities, and you’ll learn about the different types of further study available, how to apply, considerations you might want to make when making a decision to go down this pathway and more… Academics who teach on master’s courses across the Humanities also present, to give you an idea of the range of study on offer, and admissions staff are on hand to explain about the application process. You’ll also hear the audience quiz current students during a Q&A session.
