Some institutes may ask you to apply through the Postgraduate Applications Centre, but this is also very clear and simple via their website and instructions.

There is also the opportunity to study for a postgraduate diploma (lasting between 9 and 12 months). This can lead to a specific profession such as teaching (PGCE) or legal practice (GDL).
