Postgraduate and Professional open evening

Experts at Plymouth University will be giving advice on how best to prepare for employment or advance your career at a Postgraduate and Professional Open Evening in March.

From chemistry to construction and marketing to management, visitors will be able to put their questions about courses direct to the academics.

With representation from Arts and Humanities, Business, Science and Environment, Health and Human Sciences, and the Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, there will also be the chance to find out about the different options for study, from a taught masters’ programme to a research degree or a professional doctorate.

Professor Mick Fuller, Head of the Graduate School at Plymouth University, said: “Ranking as one of the top 50 universities in the UK for research, with nearly two-thirds of our research graded as world-leading or of international quality in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, our postgraduate students are supported and supervised by staff who are international experts in their field. Their breadth and depth of knowledge means they are well placed to help plan towards a future career and give advice based on genuine experience."

The courses offer flexibility with many postgraduate taught programmes run on a part-time basis allowing students to balance studying with personal and professional commitments.

Guided tours will be given to showcase the teaching facilities as well as recreational spaces, and finance experts will be on hand to discuss funding options, including scholarships which are available this year for one year only through the funding council for England (HEFCE).  These apply to a range of Masters level qualifications including the one year full-time or two year part-time courses.

The event runs from 4pm until 7pm on Wednesday 11 March with registration taking place in the Rolle Plaza Marquee on the main campus.  A programme will be given on arrival with a list of scheduled talks.
