About postgrad study: Studying abroad

search for: postgraduate courses

The number of opportunities for overseas study is increasing and there are now thousands of universities around the world offering short courses, taught Masters and research degrees.

Overall, the number of UK students going on to pursue postgraduate study abroad is relatively small. For example in 2006 only 0.2% of graduates chose to study abroad (Destinations Data Tables, Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), 2005/06). Those graduates who do go are attracted by the opportunity to work with specialists in their field and by previous personal experiences, as well as the experience that comes with spending a considerable period of time in a new country.
