PG

Postgraduate

University of Staffordshire has been pushing the boundaries of education from the very beginning. We were one of the first universities to offer degrees in Computer Science, and have been market leaders ever since, with courses that are constantly evolving to meet future needs. 

We're continuing our aim of providing modern courses and skills in subjects that matter now by bringing our expertise in computing to our postgraduate provision right here at our capital campus.

Unique learning environment

Small class sizes paired with interdisciplinary learning means you'll create lasting connections with peers who have a range of specialisms.

Teaching powered by curiosity

Our supportive teaching team empower you to learn and grow through exploring new practices, technologies and research methods

Hyper-real experiences

You'll have access to exciting hands-on experiences through industry placements, cutting edge spaces, tools and tech.

Study options

We're on a mission to provide every student with the support they need to succeed. This includes offering different pathways to our courses to allow everyone to learn in a new way that fits their life, and grow in a way that meets their goals.

Foundation years

Foundation years are a direct pathway into higher education for students from non-traditional educational backgrounds and under-represented groups. They allow you to develop your academic study skills, as well as gain a foundational knowledge in your chosen subject. Many of our foundation year classes are delivered at a nearby partner college to help ease the transition to university study.

Placement years

By choosing a placement year, you gain access to our unique connections into industry, taking you through doors that matter.  A placement year allows you to learn on the job, contributing to real-world projects at some of the world's top organisations - in the past, students have had experiences at New Balance, and Bulldog Studios.

Academic support

When you enrol, you’ll be assigned an academic mentor who will be there for you every step of the way.

You'll be able to book one-to-one appointments with specialists or peer mentors, and access online resources. They will be responsible for supporting you as you begin your academic studies and can help with specific needs including:

  • assignment structure
  • academic writing
  • critical thinking
  • effective reading
  • planning work
  • time management

Campus and facilities

We invest in the latest technology to equip our students with the skills and know-how to transition seamlessly into industry. These cutting edge facilities are complemented by collaborative learning spaces, relaxed break out rooms and our friendly on-campus cafe complete with games consoles for when you're looking for some down time between classes.

Student life in London

London is a fantastic and welcoming place to be a student - in fact, it has been ranked the best student city in the world by the QS World University Rankings every year since 2018. Whatever your interests, and whoever you choose to be, London offers a diverse and inclusive community to learn, grow and make memories.
