What it is

Who it suits

Bachelor's graduates who want a specialist qualification without committing to a thesis.

What it requires

A bachelor's degree with a grade set by the university; a language test or interview may be required.

How it is earned

Apply through the university's graduate studies portal; dates follow the two admission terms.
