The Centre for Lifelong Learning offers a number of eight-week courses available both online and on campus. These are intended to provide the basic skills and knowledge required to facilitate progression to the Postgraduate Certificate/Part-time MSc Year 1. Successful completion of one or more of these courses may serve as evidence of the necessary study skills and/or relevant genealogical experience.

More information on these courses can be found on the Centre for Lifelong Learning web pages.

PgDip/Part-time MSc Year 2

Students who've gained equivalent academic qualifications at PgCert level may be accepted directly onto the PgDip/Part-time MSc Year 2. Those seeking admission with advanced standing may include prior learning in recognised courses and/or genealogical-based experience as entry criteria. Further information is available on request.

Academic Requirements:

For entry to Strathclyde postgraduate programmes, we'd look for a first-class undergraduate degree (approx 60%) from a recognised Indian institution. Although 60% is a general entry requirement we understand that the marking system in some states and national universities make it harder to achieve 60%, therefore we will accept 55% from University of Mumbai, University of Calcutta, University of Delhi etc. Graduates from the IITs and IIMs will also be considered with marks in the region of 55%. If you wish to apply for a research degree you'd normally have to have a Masters degree and some experience of research work.
