MALLM online UK. LLM Commercial Law 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.

MADirectors' duties, boards and modern compliance for legal professionals
MAThis thirty-credit LLM is for quality directors, in-house education lawyers-adjacent staff, and partnership leads who must read UK qualifications regulation without claiming a desk at Ofqual. University of Brigant teaches Ofqual-facing literacy—conditions of recognition, malpractice, and the difference between a degree and a regulated qualification—beside Scottish SQA-facing language as comparator, not as automatic listing. 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. This LLM is academic literacy, not SQE, not a practising certificate, and not Ofqual employment.
MANavigate contracts, arbitration, and cross-border regulation
MAElite commercial law, WTO trade rules, and international arbitration.
MAA one-year postgraduate law programme for DPOs, records managers and compliance staff covering UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act, freedom of information, and data-sharing across public and private bodies. Academic literacy, not a practising certificate.
MAThis LLM is for HR leads, union officers, in-house counsel-adjacent staff, and regulators’ analysts who must read UK employment and professional-regulation law without pretending the University of Brigant will make them solicitors. Thirty credits, Edinburgh or tuition-free online, one standard. You will work through unfair dismissal, whistleblowing, and fitness-to-practise interfaces as they actually appear in Scottish and UK workplaces—NHS employers, universities, and SMEs—not as a generic international-law LLM with the title swapped. Assessment is identity-checked. The award is academic literacy, not a practising certificate.
MAPerformance, look development, and a final shot
MAMake a film that does one job
MAMA Applied Ethics in Health is a programme of University of Brigant. Teaching is offered online and on campus. Students follow a subject syllabus and leave with a file another person can review. The award is academic and does not confer a licence to practise.
MANeeds analysis, a small corpus, workplace language, and materials. You do not award an external English test and you do not become a school teacher. The project is a programme for one workplace you can describe.
MAApply psychological science in workplaces and communities
MAThe 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. This is conservation practice, not a chartership and not a planning consent. Online critiques use your own photographs. A campus day in Edinburgh is for measuring one stair.
MARepair a minute and record what you changed
MAMA Artist and Repertoire is a programme of Pulse College. Teaching is offered online and on campus. Students follow a subject syllabus and leave with a file another person can review. The award is academic and does not confer a licence to practise.

MAWho attends, what the price does, which community partner is real, and which data you are allowed to keep. Theatres and galleries in Edinburgh are the scale. The project is an audience plan with a test you could run.
MAUniversity 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.

MAUniversity 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.
MAMicrophone 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.
MAMA Game Narrative is a programme of Pulse College. Teaching is offered online and on campus. Students follow a subject syllabus and leave with a file another person can review. The award is academic and does not confer a licence to practise.
MAPreserving global cultural heritage, museum curation, and site governance.
MAUniversity 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.
MAHR 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. 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 is the university's own. It is not a CIPD or SHRM credential.
MAOrchestral composition, digital scoring, and cinematic audio production
MAThis 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’.
MAInternational 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. The hours on each course add up to that total. Seminars run online. An Edinburgh campus route is published separately from this online award.

MAA master's in legal method and institutions. It is not a qualifying law degree and does not admit you to practise.
MAYou translate prose into English and write the note that explains the choices. Source languages are the ones you already read. The course does not teach a language from zero. Rights and the translator's contract sit beside the workshop. The project is 4,000 words plus the note.
MAMove a show from one room to the next
MAThis is a newsroom for print and digital magazines: commissioning, editing long copy, rights, and the flatplan. Edinburgh's independent press is the reference, not a placement you are promised. You leave with one issue you edited, including the picture rights.

MAUniversity 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. Dual-pathway students must receive lawful digital surrogates or honest statements that a module cannot run without a licence purchase. The MA is not a conservator or ARA ticket.
MARights, labels, and live income. 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.

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.

MScThis 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.
MScUniversity 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.

For analysts moving into product and PMs who need real quantitative depth.
MScDesign, procurement, evaluation and safe adoption of digital health tools — apps, remote monitoring, electronic records and AI triage — across health and social care. Non-clinical.
MScMSc Distillation and Fermentation Science is a programme of University of Brigant. Teaching is offered online and on campus. Students follow a subject syllabus and leave with a file another person can review. The award is academic and does not confer a licence to practise.
MScUniversity 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.
MScEconomic reasoning and causal evidence for policy and markets
MScNet-zero energy systems, smart grids, and clean power engineering.
MScUniversity 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.
MScExecutive corporate risk, geopolitical intelligence, and organizational resilience.
MScAnalyze Earth systems, protect groundwater, and pioneer carbon sequestration
MScSpaces 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.
MScUniversity 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.
MScYou 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.
MScMaster markets, valuation, and portfolio strategy
MScA 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.

MScHarbours 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.
MScA double-path master's for NHS and health-sector staff who work at the seam of analytics and operations.

Non-clinical; confers no professional registration.
MScWhere clinical care meets digital innovation
MScNHS 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.
MScThis 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.
MScA master's in caring for heritage sites and explaining them to visitors.

You will plan materials, contracts, and community-impact narratives without claiming CEng or an offshore ticket. Capstones use anonymised operator or contractor files.

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.

MScSound for picture, games, and immersive work. 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.
MScThe 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.

MScThis MSc is for careers, planning, and quality staff who must talk about UK Graduate Outcomes without turning a survey into a lie. University of Brigant, Edinburgh, dual pathway: you will read HESA-facing definitions as literacy, design employability evidence that survives audit, and refuse league-table theatre. 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.
MScUniversity 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.
