Changing directions
Interested in postgraduate study in a new subject area? Change direction with the University of Birmingham.
As you progress through your career and you gain new experiences, or change your personal circumstances, you may realise that the career path that you once decided upon is no longer the way you want to go. Have you considered changing direction and seeking alternative postgraduate opportunities?
Explore your options
Explore what alternative routes may be available to you with your current undergraduate qualifications, or find out what may be an option with no prior knowledge required. These are not all the options available to you, but they give you an idea of the type of career you could move into.
Life is full of options, never more so than in this day and age. There are masters courses, conversion courses, distance learning, vocational training, a new degree course – the list goes on. Finances, enthusiasm, attitude and responsibilities all affect the choices you make, but remember things turn out for the best, and nothing is forever.

Looking for a complete change?
If you're considering a complete change in career from your current job or sector then we offer opportunities to pursue a postgraduate degree in certain fields, which don't require a specialist undergraduate degree. We have a number of postgraduate opportunities for graduates where no prior knowledge of the subject area is expected. Sometimes, experience is required for some programmes, which you can fulfil while going through the application process.
