Conversion courses
Find out how to change direction and explore a new subject with a postgraduate degree.
What are they?
Postgraduate study could be your opportunity to change direction and explore a new subject, or gain the qualifications you need to pursue a professional career you might not have considered before.
Conversion courses are designed to prepare you for a career unrelated to your undergraduate degree, and are available in a range of subject areas, including law, management, marketing, property, IT, journalism, psychology and teaching.
MA Fashion Communications student, Shawn, tells us how his conversion course at NTU allowed him to switch career paths from Sport Science to Fashion.
