Course Overview

Postgraduate programmes in Humanities & Social Sciences at the University of Greenwich equip students with advanced knowledge, analytical skills and practical experience in areas such as global politics, public health, organisational psychology, sport and exercise psychology, criminology and social work. Taught master’s degrees combine theoretical foundations with real‑world applications, preparing graduates for careers in policy, research, public service, counselling, advocacy, social care and specialist professional roles. Research degrees (MPhil/PhD) allow deep academic investigation in fields such as sociology, politics, history and language, supported by academic supervision within a culturally rich London setting — ideal for both career progression and academic excellence. 

Entry Requirements

Academic:

  • A recognised undergraduate degree — usually UK 2:1 or 2:2 equivalent (in a relevant subject for specialised master’s).

  • Some professional programmes (e.g., Occupational Psychology or Social Work) may have specific subject or experience expectations.

English Language:

  • IELTS Academic: Generally 6.5 overall (sometimes with minimum sub‑scores).

  • Equivalent TOEFL/PTE/Duolingo scores accepted (confirm on official Greenwich course pages).

  • Some psychology or professional routes may require slightly higher English proficiency.

 


📄 Common Application Documents

When applying, you’ll typically need:

  • Academic transcripts and degree certificate

  • Proof of English language ability (IELTS/TOEFL/PTE/Duolingo)

  • Personal statement

  • CV / resume (for some degrees)

  • Two academic or professional references

  • Passport copy & proof of funding for UK visa/CAS

Fees & Funding

For postgraduate Humanities & Social Sciences programmes at University of Greenwich, international tuition fees are typically around £17,975 – £18,700 per academic year for full‑time study (for courses like MA International Relations, MSc Global Public Health, MSc Criminology & Criminal Psychology, etc.). Fees may vary slightly by programme and academic year, so it’s important to check the latest published fees on the university website when applying. In addition to tuition, students should budget for UK living costs — accommodation, food, transport, study materials and personal expenses — estimated at £9,000 – £12,000 per year for students living in or near London. The university offers international scholarships and bursaries, including tuition discounts and awards for high‑achieving applicants, which can reduce the cost of study; alumni and country‑specific awards may also be available. Additionally, some external funding and professional scholarships (e.g., Chevening, Commonwealth, GREAT Scholarships) can support master’s study. Before applying for a UK student visa, you’ll also need to show financial evidence of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living costs. Scholarships and funding information is provided on the University of Greenwich funding pages and can significantly help manage the overall cost of postgraduate study.
