Please find below a full list of postgraduate courses with their classification (PGR or PGT) and its definition:
According to the Office for Students (OfS), the definition of Postgraduate Research and Postgraduate Taught courses are as follows:
Postgraduate Research (PGR)
Postgraduate research courses are those in which the qualification aim is a research-based higher degree. This is a postgraduate programme comprising a research component (including a requirement to produce original work) which is larger in terms of student effort than any accompanying taught component. The arrangements for assuring and maintaining the academic standards and enhancing the quality of these programmes should be fully compliant with Chapter B11 of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education’s ‘UK quality code for higher education’ on postgraduate research programmes.
Postgraduate Taught (PGT)
Postgraduate taught courses are those that do not meet the requirements to be a research course. Postgraduates include those on graduate conversion courses and all on postgraduate initial teacher training courses such as Postgraduate or Professional Graduate Certificates in Education (PGCEs).
