With the continued demand for postgraduate study, it is essential that we meet this demand and ensure that the courses themselves are relevant and beneficial to our students. At Aberystwyth University, we’ve introduced new Masters courses in the Arts, Social Sciences and Science to add to our existing taught postgraduate provision. These include vocationally oriented courses and preparatory courses for those wishing to progress to research programmes. Some are full-time courses taught on campus whereas others are distance-learning courses. The myriad of postgraduate courses available reflects the variety of the needs of our postgraduate student community.

Taught courses are available within the following departments: Art & Art History; Biological Sciences; Computer Science; Education & Lifelong Learning; English Literature; European Languages; Geography & Earth Sciences; History & Welsh History; Information Studies; International Politics; Law; Management & Business; Rural Sciences; Theatre, Film & Television Studies, Welsh & Celtic Studies.

The learning experience of our students is of prime imortance to us. Awards for Teaching Excellence are awarded annually by our Vice-Chancellor in recognition of the outstanding contributions made by our staff.
