what is postgraduate taught and what is postgraduate research?

[lazy student]

whats is the difference between the two?

[Dion]

The first is where you study subjects and prepare assignments or complete exams. The second is for conducting your own research and preparing a research report into an important issue.

Both are difficult, just depends on personal choice.

post graduate is simply after you have gotten a bachelors degree.

[missyqaballiot]

To put it simply

postgaduate means that you already have your first degree and are now doing further study for another degree/diploma

With a research degree you are given a aim or project to research and that is exactly what you do - research that topic.

A taught means that you sit in a classroom listening to ur lecturers telling you what you need to know. You tend to use and evaluate secondary research

p.s. if you are considering doing postgrad study, I'd strongly recommend that you drop tthe 'lazy' from your name because it's challenging work and there is a lot to do
