Does the conversion program for switching fields add extra time to the course duration in UK for a Master's?

It depends. Most UK conversion programs at the master's level are designed to be completed in 12 months full-time, similar to standard master's degrees.

However, some conversion courses may take longer - especially if they include work placements or intensive study components. This means the total duration could be longer than a typical master's, depending on the specific program and university.

Review each program’s structure and duration carefully to understand any additional time required.
