Our postgraduate taught degrees

Established in 1963, we have a distinguished history founded on the principles of research excellence and forward thinking. We are recognised as the leading school of our kind in the UK, with an international reputation for the quality of our teaching and research, and for the achievements of our graduates.

As a school we are committed to research-led teaching; in every single Research Assessment Exercise we have been awarded the maximum rating, making us the only Information School to ever achieve this. The most recent assessment showed that a phenomenal 65% of our research was considered to be internationally excellent and world class.

The school is proven to be a consistent leader in the field. This is shown in our year after year position in the top two of leading independent University Guides; scoring 97/100 in the Times Good University Guide and 99/100 in the Complete University Guide.

Importantly this proven excellence is directly linked to our cutting edge and broad ranging courses, with our world leading research informing the course content and supportive academic staff offering their expert guidance.

Study with us and you'll join a thriving postgraduate community in the school that's been Britain's leading research centre in information for 50 years.
