How long does it
take to complete?
It normally takes 15 months to complete the requirements of the
PgDip and two and a half years to complete the requirements of
the PgCert. The MSc normally takes slightly over three years.
If you have sufficient time to study more than 15-credits worth
of modules at a time, then these times can be shortened. The minimum
time possible to gain an MSc by part time study is two years.
Most university regulations state that an MSc should be completed
within five years but an Exam Board can agree to sanction an extension.
