"There are 2 types of postgraduate study: taught courses and research. Taught courses often last just 1 year while research can continue for 3 years or more. You need to consider what kind of postgraduate study you wish to do, what are the most suitable courses for you and your career and what costs are involved. Prospects is the official graduate prospects website for the UK (www.prospects.ac.uk).
It has information on postgraduate study, jobs and career advice. It has information on over 55,000 full-time and part-time courses and you can search by geographical area and by subject. For postgraduate courses in the UK you apply directly to the university or college. Most of them have the application forms available online. You can apply online to these universities and colleges."
