University Degree

Progression Routes
Every year, PMA graduates gain entry into universities in North America, the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Western Europe, the Far East, South East Asia and Australasia.  For those wishing to study in the UK there are more than 100 different institutions to which they can apply. For the student, the choice of institution and the preferred country of study is wide and varied.

In order to simplify the process for all those PMA students wishing to study in the UK the Institute has established a number of strategic partnerships with public sector providers each of which welcomes applications from suitably qualified PMA Members and Student Members.
