Masters degrees in Wales typically involve one or two years of study beyond a bachelor's degree. Students can complete a prescribed taught course or a more open-ended research degree. A master's degree program provides students with opportunities to gain content knowledge and research skills in their field through coursework. This knowledge and experience helps students select a research topic, frame their research interests, conduct literature reviews, develop research questions, and design a study for their thesis. The University of South Wales offers a range of postgraduate certificate, masters, and PhD programs across many subjects that can be studied full-time, part-time, online, or through block teaching. Employability is a focus, with teaching informed by real-world applications and opportunities

2. Masters Degree, Wales

Bachelor’s degree. The course can either be a prescribed taught
course or a more open-ended research degree which the student
works through themselves.

3. Master’s Degree Program
If you are thinking about or preparing to write your master’s thesis, most likely you are at the end
or toward the end of your master’s degree program. A master’s degree program is a graduate-
level, postbaccalaureate program in a specific field or discipline that typically involves a
culminating activity, project, or thesis. Although master’s degree programs are not typically
designed to teach students how to write a thesis, the course of study and experiences from the
program benefit you greatly as you go through the research and writing process for the thesis.
First, the master’s degree program provides you with multiple opportunities to learn the critical
and core content inyour field or discipline.This content knowledge will help you as you select an
appropriate topic to study, one that is both relevant and significant to your field, and frame your
research interests. Next, most master’s degree programs require students to take course(s) in
research methods. This experience will help you research the literature, analyze and synthesize
research articles, develop answerable research questions, and create a rigorous, yet feasible,
design for your study. Thus, throughout the thesiswritingprocess, you will be constantly relying
on thecontent knowledge and experiences that you gained from the master’s degree program to
demonstrate that you have “mastered” the content and associated research skills in your field or
discipline.

5. Choosing a course
This is where we come in! Research is key and close reading of the university prospectus and
course syllabus is essential. Postgraduate study fairs are also a great way of meeting several
providers in one day and getting answers to your questions. How did the university/department fare
in the most recent assessment exercise? What have graduates from the course gone on to do?
To complement the information obtained in the above ways, you can also seek advice from the
following:
•Academics – talk to your own tutors and other relevant academics and use their knowledge and networks;
•Your careers service – a careers adviser has no vested interest and will discuss the pros and cons of
particular courses impartially and perhaps suggest other options;
•Employers and professional bodies – talk to employers at fairs and presentations, write to professional
bodies, use other contacts (your careers service may have a list of alumni working in relevant areas).
