Unlike an MSc, the MSt (Master of Studies) is a part-time Master’s degree, designed for individuals who may be working full time as well as studying.

The modular structure of consolidated teaching blocks enables those living further away from Cambridge, including international students, to undertake a Master's. It allows you to develop your professional and academic interests for career progression, diversification and/or personal development.

Many MSt students will have some years of experience in the field prior to undertaking the programme. IDBE MSt students have a minimum of three years' professional experience after graduating in their particular discipline.
