MASTERS QUALIFICATIONS

Only Masters qualifications eligible for Integrated Masters support should be added onto the Course Management

Service. Integrated Masters are generally four year programmes of study in Science, Engineering and Mathematics

disciplines. They comprise an integrated programme of study including typically three years study at undergraduate

level and one year postgraduate leading to a single integrated undergraduate qualification which students enrol for

at the outset.

The exception to the above is for Masters of Architecture which given its unique course structure has been assigned

a separate qualification.

Please note for providers based in Scotland there is an option for Scottish Masters which would reflect their unique

undergraduate courses.

SCOTTISH POSTGRADUATE

SAAS support certain taught postgraduate courses and to ensure these are reflected on the Courses Management

Service we have added a generic Scottish Postgraduate qualification.
