Edinburgh or tuition-free online, one standard. Not a practising certificate. No regulator logos. Dual-pathway students sit the same thirty-credit construct in Edinburgh and tuition-free online.

Assessment is identity-checked. The award is academic literacy, not a practising certificate.

Apply psychological science in workplaces and communities

MA Architectural Conservation

The work is tenement stone, timber sash, and the paperwork that sits with a listed building. You learn to record what is there, name the decay, and write a repair that a mason could price.

MA British and Scottish Historiography

University of Brigant’s MA British and Scottish Historiography is for people who need to argue about how the past of these islands has been written—Union, empire, class, Gaelic and Scots sources—without a patriotic pageant. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one standard. You will work with historiographical debates and archive literacy, not a creative-writing castle tour. Dual-pathway students get the same reading demand. No national-archive logos. Not QTS. Dual-pathway readers face the same historiographical demand, with lawful digital surrogates where a closed file cannot travel. Extra Gaelic or Scots source work is welcomed where the student has evidence; it is not a decorative header on an English essay.

MA Gaelic and Scots Academic Communication

University of Brigant’s MA Gaelic and Scots Academic Communication is for people who must write, teach, or assess in and about Scotland’s languages inside universities, colleges, and public bodies. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one academic standard. English remains the administrative language of the award; Gaelic and Scots strands require additional language evidence as stated on the programme page. You will produce academic genres—abstracts, feedback, public-engagement copy—without treating Scots as comic dialect or Gaelic as decoration. No fake language-board logos. Dual-pathway seminars remain one academic standard: identity-checked assessment, the same portfolio demand, and no reduced Gaelic or Scots requirement for online students.

MA Gaelic Broadcasting

Microphone craft, interview, short video, a speech slot in a schedule, and subtitles. You should already speak Gaelic at a working level. The course does not teach the language from the beginning. The project is a ten-minute package with a cue sheet.

MA Heritage and Cultural Management

University of Brigant’s MA Heritage and Cultural Management is for people who already juggle condition reports, festival risk, and the politics of who gets to interpret Scotland in a gallery or a close. Based in Edinburgh with a tuition-free online twin, the degree treats heritage as operations: collections care, visitor flow, funding, and community objection—not as a creative-writing course with a castle in the background. You will write a collections or events paper that a trustee can interrogate, read listing and planning interfaces without pretending to be a conservation architect, and keep dual-pathway parity. No invented royal warrants and no fake institutional logos.

MA Human Resource Management

HR masters UK. MA Human Resource Management at University of Brigant: 6 assessed courses, 180 credits and 1,800 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit.

MA In-Post Education Studies (Non-QTS)

This MA is for people already working in schools, colleges, youth work, or learning support who need education studies without a teacher-training fiction. University of Brigant will not sell QTS. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one standard, designed around in-post timetables. You will inquire into curriculum, assessment, and inclusion as a practitioner-researcher, with Scottish and rUK policy literacy, not as a PGCE substitute. Identity-checked assessment. Capstones use your workplace (anonymised) or a documented education setting. Dual pathway means an in-post teacher in the Highlands sits the same demand as an Edinburgh evening attender, without a lighter marking scheme dressed up as ‘flexibility’.

MA International Business

International business masters UK. MA International Business at University of Brigant: 6 assessed courses, 180 credits and 1,800 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit.

Move a show from one room to the next

Learning teams write workshops, object handling, labels, and the evaluation that shows whether a visit worked. Galleries in Edinburgh are the reference. You are not placed in a national museum. The project is a learning programme for one small gallery.

MA Museum, Archive and Digital Collections

University of Brigant’s MA Museum, Archive and Digital Collections is for people who already live with catalogue backlogs, fragile paper, and the politics of putting Scotland online. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one standard, with library-parity questions built in so distance students are not locked out of licensed content. You will not be trained as a conservator. You will design access, rights, and digital-preservation literacy. No national-collection logos as endorsement.

Thirty-six credits, Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one academic standard. You will write committee papers, read budgets as politics, and keep NHS and education interfaces in view without claiming clinical or teacher status. No government logos.

Rigorous quantitative decision modeling, predictive econometrics, marketing science, and data engineering for enterprise intelligence.

MSc Central Belt Export and SME Strategy

This MSc is for owner-managers and export leads in the Central Belt who already live with commodity codes, hauliers, and the gap between a trade-mission photograph and a paid invoice. University of Brigant teaches from Edinburgh with a tuition-free online twin so a Falkirk plant manager and an Edinburgh founder sit the same assessments. You will build an export plan that names Incoterms, VAT, and capacity, not a ‘go global’ canvas. No agency logos. Capstones use a real SME file (anonymised if required). Dual-pathway students keep identical export-plan constructs whether they attend in Edinburgh or study tuition-free online around a production shift.

MSc Climate Policy and Just Transition

University of Brigant’s MSc Climate Policy and Just Transition is for people who must hold carbon targets and shipyard or hospital jobs in the same sentence. Edinburgh-based with a tuition-free online twin, it treats Scottish and UK climate policy as distributional politics: who pays, who retrains, and which community is asked to host infrastructure. You will not receive a UN badge. You will write a just-transition briefing that survives contact with a trade union, a local authority, and a treasury official. Dual-pathway assessment is identical. Capstones use named Scottish industrial or public-service settings, not a recycled global-ESG essay.

MSc Community Energy

Resident meetings, a tariff a scheme can explain, metering complaints, and the grant file. The scale is a block or a village scheme in Scotland, not a national grid plan. The project is an operations manual.

MSc Computer Science

Computing for games, audio tools, and production pipelines

MSc Construction & Infrastructure Project Management

Programme and project delivery for the built environment — procurement, cost, contracts (NEC/JCT literacy), risk and stakeholder management — for site and client-side professionals.

No offensive-security coursework.

An intensive postgraduate dual programme delivering deep mastery in advanced machine learning, neural networks, distributed big data engineering, and ethical AI systems with validation by world-class UK academics.

MSc Data Science & Product Management (Dual Track)

A double-path master's: a shared analytical core, then two named pathways — Data Science (modelling, ML engineering, experimentation) and Product Management (discovery, roadmapping, metrics) — closing with a dual-track capstone that ships a data-informed product decision. For analysts moving into product and PMs who need real quantitative depth.

MSc Digital Health & Care Technology

MSc Dual-Pathway Quality and External Examining

University of Brigant built this MSc for quality officers and module leaders who must prove that tuition-free online and Edinburgh campus are the same degree, not a brand with two prices of rigour. You will design assessment parity, write an external-examiner brief, and run an exam board that can survive a student complaint. Ofqual-facing literacy appears where regulated language is used; you are not trained as Ofqual staff. Thirty-six credits, identity-checked assessment, no fake quality-agency logos. You will also write a student-facing explanation of how campus and online sit under one award, because that sentence is where universities usually start to lie.

MSc Economics & Policy

Economic reasoning and causal evidence for policy and markets

MSc Energy Transition & Net-Zero Grid Systems

Net-zero energy systems, smart grids, and clean power engineering.

MSc Energy Transition and Project Economics

University of Brigant’s MSc Energy Transition and Project Economics is for people who already sit next to spreadsheets that decide whether a Scottish wind, heat, or decommissioning package survives contact with the grid and the bank. Taught from Edinburgh with a tuition-free online twin, it treats Contracts for Difference, constraint payments, and community-benefit narratives as project-economics problems, not as a generic ‘renewables MBA’. You will model cashflows under UK policy risk, read a grid-connection queue without pretending to be a power-systems engineer, and write an investment note a director on the Forth can table. Assessment standards are identical on campus and online. The award is academic: it is not CEng and it does not license you to stamp drawings.

MSc Enterprise Risk Management & Crisis Resilience

Executive corporate risk, geopolitical intelligence, and organizational resilience.

MSc Environmental Geosciences & Climate Solutions

Analyze Earth systems, protect groundwater, and pioneer carbon sequestration

MSc Experiential Design

Spaces and brand environments people walk through. Study is organised as files you can defend: a method, a record, and a limit on what you claim. The award is this university's own. It is not a licence, charter, or external body's endorsement.

MSc Family Firm Succession (Scotland)

University of Brigant’s MSc Family Firm Succession (Scotland) is for next-generation leaders, non-family managing directors, and advisers who must handle ownership, conflict, and continuity in Scottish family enterprises. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one standard. You will map governance, communication, and capability gaps without pretending this degree replaces a solicitor or accountant. Cases include Central Belt manufacturers, rural firms, and Edinburgh professional partnerships. Capstones use anonymised family-firm files. Dual-pathway study keeps one standard for a night-shift successor in Fife and an Edinburgh professional-services daughter. The MSc is not legal or tax advice.

MSc Festival Operations

You treat a festival as a temporary city: gates, power, crews, artists, and the streets around the site. The cases sit in Edinburgh's festival calendar. You do not inherit a venue contract or a city's licence. Seminars run online, with a campus studio week when the cohort is in Edinburgh. The year ends with a week plan, not a slogan about culture.

MSc Finance & Investment

Master markets, valuation, and portfolio strategy

MSc Finance & Sustainability (Dual Track)

A double-path master's pairing corporate finance with sustainability and ESG practice. Shared core in financial analysis and climate literacy, then pathways in Corporate Finance (valuation, capital, risk) and Sustainable Finance (transition risk, ESG disclosure, impact), ending with an integrated investment-and-transition capstone.

Anti-money-laundering, sanctions, fraud, bribery and the UK regulatory perimeter — for compliance officers, investigators and MLROs in banks, fintechs and professional services.

MSc Financial Crime and Compliance

Compliance course UK. MSc Financial Crime and Compliance at University of Brigant: 6 assessed courses, 180 credits and 1,800 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit.

MSc Global Supply Chain & Smart Logistics (Dual Award)

Design resilient maritime and air supply chains, automate warehouse fulfillment systems, and master procurement risk in dynamic international trade corridors.

MSc Harbour Management

Harbours on the Scottish coast are the setting: cruise calls, small cargo, pilotage limits, and the dues that pay for the wall. You produce a weekly plan, not a port authority's strategy deck. Online study uses published tide and traffic patterns. Campus time, when offered, is a quay walk with a measuring brief.

MSc Health Data & Service Management (Dual Track)

A double-path master's for NHS and health-sector staff who work at the seam of analytics and operations. Shared core in health systems and data literacy, then pathways in Health Data (informatics, dashboards, information governance) and Service Management (flow, capacity, improvement), with a capstone on an anonymised service problem. Non-clinical; confers no professional registration.

MSc Health Informatics

Where clinical care meets digital innovation

MSc Health Service Leadership

NHS management masters. MSc Health Service Leadership at University of Brigant: 6 assessed courses, 180 credits and 1,800 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. Seminars run online. An Edinburgh campus route is published separately from this online award.

MSc Health Service Management (UK/NHS)

This MSc is for people who already live with delayed discharge, winter plans, and the gap between a Scottish Government target and a ward that has no staff to meet it. University of Brigant teaches health service management as UK/NHS systems work—integration joint boards, territorial boards, and the politics of money flowing through Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland—not as a clinical conversion course. You will not be trained to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. You will be trained to write a board paper that a non-executive can interrogate, to read a waiting-list without worshipping the dashboard, and to keep one academic standard whether you sit in Edinburgh or study tuition-free online.

Lead firms, markets and teams across borders

MSc North Sea Supply Chain and Decommissioning

This MSc is for supply-chain and commercial staff in the North Sea basin who already live with weather windows, yard slots, and the politics of late-life and decommissioning. University of Brigant teaches from Edinburgh with a tuition-free online twin so Aberdeen-adjacent and Central Belt suppliers sit one standard. You will plan materials, contracts, and community-impact narratives without claiming CEng or an offshore ticket. Capstones use anonymised operator or contractor files.

Lead safe, evidence-based care systems with confidence

Optimisation, simulation, forecasting and decision modelling — the quantitative toolkit for scheduling, logistics, healthcare and public-service planning.

MSc Optometry Studies

MSc Organizational Leadership & Change

Lead people and transformations without pausing your career

MSc Pharmacy Operations

Dispensing workflow, controlled-drug process, shortages, and error reports. You do not become a pharmacist and you do not supervise dispensing. The project is a branch operations review a superintendent could read.

Deliver complex projects on time, on budget, on scope

MSc Public Health

Improve population health with evidence and policy

MSc Public Health Board CPD Leadership

This MSc is for people who organise continuing professional development and board literacy around population health in UK systems—especially Scottish boards—without pretending the University of Brigant can register them with UKPHR. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one standard. You will design CPD that changes a board’s questions, not a conference that only collects certificates. Non-clinical. Capstones use anonymised board or CPD-programme files. Dual pathway keeps one standard across Edinburgh campus and tuition-free online. The MSc does not confer UKPHR, NMC, or a consultant-in-public-health post, and marketing must keep saying so.

MSc Public Procurement

Specification, route to market, evaluation, and the contract file afterwards. UK public buying is the setting, including a council-scale purchase. This is not a procurement licence. The project is a tender pack.

MSc Quantitative Finance & Algorithmic Trading

Stochastic calculus, derivative pricing, and algorithmic execution.

Advanced practice for justice, safety and community wellbeing

MSc Spirits Commerce

The subject is the business of distilled spirits: what a cask costs to lay down, how a warehouse account works, and what an export file must contain. Scotland is the case, including visitor retail. You do not sit an excise officer's exam and you do not represent a distillery. The project is a route-to-market brief for a small bottling.

MSc UK Graduate Outcomes and Employability Evidence

This MSc is for careers, planning, and quality staff who must talk about UK Graduate Outcomes without turning a survey into a lie.

Tuition-free online or campus, one standard. You are not trained as HESA staff. Capstones use anonymised institutional evidence files. Dual pathway requires careers-support parity: an online student is not an afterthought in an Edinburgh fair. Thirty-six credits, one academic standard, no ranking-body logos.

MSc UK SME Cyber and ICO-Facing Practice

University of Brigant’s MSc UK SME Cyber and ICO-Facing Practice is for operations leads in small and mid-sized UK firms who already fear a phishing Monday and an ICO letter on Tuesday. Edinburgh or tuition-free online, one standard. You will design proportionate controls, incident logs, and subject-access processes—not a red-team bootcamp and not a CISSP cram. Assessment is identity-checked. No NCSC, ICO, or vendor logos implying endorsement. Capstones use an anonymised SME control file. Dual pathway keeps one academic standard: Edinburgh seminars and tuition-free online students sit the same identity-checked assessments and the same prohibition on offensive cyber coursework.

MSc Urban Sustainability

A master's on compact neighbourhoods, housing, and everyday movement, written for city practitioners.

MSc User Experience for Games

Watch a player fail and change the game

MSc Virtual Production

Real-time sets, camera tracking, and a produced scene

MSc Water Treatment

Source, treatment, sampling, bursts, and the customer warning. Scottish water operations are the context. You do not become an operator by statute. The project is an incident report a team leader could sign.

MSc Workplace Health Practice

Hazard, adjustment, incident, and how you talk to workers. This is occupational practice for managers and advisers. It is not medicine and it does not register you as a clinician. The project is a workplace health file for one department.

PGCert Charity Board Reporting

Management accounts, a risk register, and minutes that record the decision. Scottish charities are the scale. Not an accounting qualification. Three courses, 18 credits.

PGCert Higher Education Assessment

A short award for people who already teach or train. You design a brief, the criteria, and a moderation note. It is not a teaching qualification and it does not award a fellowship. Three courses, 18 credits.

PGCert Identity-Checked Assessment (UK Distance)

This nine-month PGCert is for assessment leads who must prove who sat the exam when the student is in a kitchen in Inverness or a flat in Leith. University of Brigant’s dual pathway makes identity-checked assessment a core operation, not a panic plugin. Fifteen credits, Edinburgh or tuition-free online, same standard. You will design policies that are lawful, accessible, and honest about residual impersonation risk. No vendor lock-in as a learning outcome. No spyware framing. Dual-pathway students on this PGCert sit the same protocol-writing assessments whether they can reach Edinburgh or not. Fifteen credits over nine months.

PGCert Information Governance

A short award for records leads. Retention, access requests, and where the records actually sit. UK practice, including a university or a council file. Not a legal qualification. Three courses, 18 credits.

PGCert Integrity and Generative AI (UK Dual Pathway)

This nine-month PGCert is for module leaders and academic-conduct officers who must mark work in a world of generative models without pretending detection software is a court. University of Brigant’s dual pathway is the test case: same award in Edinburgh and tuition-free online, same authorship rules. Fifteen credits. You will write policies students can follow, design tasks that still assess the person, and stay Ofqual-facing in language without becoming Ofqual staff. No vendor logos. Dual-pathway students sit the same authorship rules in Edinburgh and tuition-free online. Fifteen credits over nine months. This is not a coding bootcamp and not a detector-vendor certificate.

PGCert Library Parity and Off-Campus Licences

Dual-pathway higher education is a lie if the online student cannot read the set text. This nine-month PGCert is for librarians and programme leaders who must map licences, walk-in rights, and reading-list reality. University of Brigant, Edinburgh, fifteen credits, campus or tuition-free online, one standard. You will produce a parity dossier that names what a vendor forbids. No publisher or consortium logos as endorsement. Not a chartership. Dual-pathway students on this PGCert audit real licence clauses. Fifteen credits, nine months, Edinburgh or tuition-free online, one standard.

PGCert Professional Body Liaison Practice

This nine-month PGCert is for partnership and quality staff who write to professional bodies without implying that the University of Brigant has made the student a member. Edinburgh or tuition-free online, fifteen credits, one standard. You will keep liaison logs, map conditions of accreditation as literacy, and refuse logo misuse. Ofqual-facing language appears where qualifications regulation touches PSRBs; you are not Ofqual staff. Capstone is a liaison dossier. Dual-pathway disclosure is mandatory: if a PSRB treats online delivery as a different product, you will say so in the file and in student copy. Fifteen credits, nine months, no borrowed crests.

PGCert RQF/SCQF Mapping and Credit Practice

This nine-month PGCert is for registry, partnership, and programme-design staff who must map UK credit frameworks without lying about listing. University of Brigant teaches RQF and SCQF as distinct instruments: level descriptors, volume, and the politics of ‘equivalence’ claims that collapse under audit. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, same identity-checked standard. You will produce a mapping file that states residual risk, not a certificate that pretends Brigant can list you on the SCQF database. Fifteen credits. No Ofqual or SCQF Partnership logos.

PGCert Storm Continuity and VLE Design

Scottish winters close bridges, cancel trains, and knock power. This nine-month PGCert is for learning-technologists and programme leaders who must keep dual-pathway teaching alive when the Edinburgh campus cannot open. University of Brigant treats VLE design as continuity operations: asynchronous parity, assessment windows, and staff rotas—not a click-training badge. Fifteen credits, campus or tuition-free online, same standard. No LMS vendor logos. You will specify what happens to identity-checked exams and library holds when named storms close the city, without pretending a plugin is a continuity plan.

PGCert TESOL

TESOL course UK. PGCert TESOL at University of Brigant: 4 assessed courses, 60 credits and 600 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. Seminars run online. An Edinburgh campus route is published separately from this online award. This award does not confer a teaching licence, QTS, or GTCS registration.

6 months60 credits

You will be examined on a thesis that can survive viva—identity-checked, timezone-aware. Supervisors expect Scottish and UK higher-education evidence, Ofqual-facing literacy where relevant, and no quality-agency cosplay.
