A master’s course at Universal Arts School consists of two years of learning – with the option of either a single master’s or a double master’s in the same amount of time – or four years. A five-year option is also available. UA School offers a wide range of subjects, which include:

For two-year courses, students can focus on either a single master’s or a double master’s across 24 months. Learning takes place either on campus, online, or a combination of the two. 

Four-year courses are designed specifically for jobs in high demand, and aims to open doors to jobs within the sector. Students can take advantage of grants and study at discounted rates. 

Programmes running for five years guarantee the highest level of skill and leave graduated with two fullstack qualifications – some of the strongest skill levels in the industry. A discount of 50% is available on the second of the two fullstack programmes.
