- Oxford University
- The University of Cambridge
- University of Aberdeen
- The Edinburgh University
- University of St Andrew’s
- University of Glasgow
- University of Edinburgh
- University of Dundee
Integrated master’s degrees (usually require 4 or 5 years full-time study), which are first degrees that combined undergraduate and postgraduate study are excluded from this list.
