Buckinghamshire New University

What you'll study

You study the full range of the undergraduate course content through the first three years, with an extra fourth year at master’s level. The final year emphasises employability-related learning: development of professional and practical skills, engagement in research projects and work on live briefs to build applied experience and a competitive edge in the graduate job market.

Entry requirements

The source does not supply specific academic entry requirements. It does note that students applying to a standard undergraduate course can transfer onto an integrated master’s during their third year, and that you may opt to exit after three years with a bachelor’s degree.

Career prospects

Integrated master’s graduates are positioned to stand out to employers, particularly in science and technical sectors such as cyber security. The programme’s emphasis on practical skills, research projects and live briefs aims to widen career options and improve competitiveness when applying for graduate roles.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

Integrated master’s degrees are funded in the same way as undergraduate study: students qualify for undergraduate government student loans and maintenance support for all four years. The source gives an example of typical undergraduate funding (£9,250 tuition plus up to £12,000 maintenance loan) and contrasts this with separate standalone master’s funding arrangements.
