The second 2021 Future Masters and Future PhD report looks at interest in different entry points and modes of study for a wide range of prospective postgraduate audiences and asks how Covid-19 is (and isn't) reshaping these preferences.

The findings reveal that:

• January 2022 was the most popular entry point for Masters and PhD students planning their studies in summer 2021
• Attitudes to flexible study vary substantially between audiences, with UK students almost equally split between online, blended and on campus learning
• Around a fifth of prospective postgraduates say the pandemic has made them more likely to study a Masters or PhD
