Among the many changes in the British educational system over recent years has been the rise and rise of graduate education. Once a minority interest, relevant to only a few professional students, the Master’s degree has become a much respected and highly desirable qualification which reflects its holder’s advanced professional training or specialist knowledge and ability in a more closely defined area of study. If a Bachelor’s degree builds into students the necessary critical skills and imparts to them the information they need for a broad, general understanding of their discipline, it is really at Master’s level that they begin to engage seriously with scholarship in a precise and detailed way. Master’s degrees today are an effective preparation for doctoral research, but also quality free-standing qualifications which can open additional doors for employment.

Mattersey Hall Graduate School offers so much more than a degree programme – we embody a whole academic culture, which provides a coherent research focus, facilitates improved staff-student interaction and networking and enables more efficient administrative management, resulting in a vastly enhanced student experience at both academic and personal levels. Our Graduate School operates in close cooperation with the School of Theology and Religious Studies at Bangor University, which awards all our degrees, including MA, MTh, MPhil, PhD and DMin, as well as our postgraduate certificates and diplomas.
