Further degrees
Masters degrees
University of London Masters’ Degrees are awarded on the results of examination after a course of study beyond the graduate level. Candidates entering for the degree examination after the minimum course of one year must either have obtained a first or second class honours degree or, for special reasons, be recommended by the School or Institute concerned. In appropriate circumstances a candidate may be required to pass a qualifying examination not less than one academic year before admission to the degree examination. Where appropriate to the course to be pursued, a qualification in languages, classical or modern, may be required. The course will extend over one calendar year, or in the case of part-time students an equivalent period (usually two years).
