Conversion courses for postgraduate study
Fast-track a change of career path by studying a subject unrelated to your undergraduate degree or current career.
Benefits of a conversion course
As well as supporting you with a change of career path, there are many benefits to studying a postgraduate conversion course, such as:
- continuing your study at a higher level
- developing new skills and knowledge in a new subject
- growing your skillset
- increasing your confidence of securing employment in a specific field
- pursuing a vocation that matches your interests and that you find more fulfilling.

A conversion course gave me the opportunity to ‘redirect’ my career, transitioning from business to computing without any previous knowledge.
