About Us

Hi, we’re the team behind VivaMSc.

When we were applying for our Master’s, our browser tabs multiplied quickly. There was plenty of information, but comparing programmes meant jumping between pages and piecing everything together ourselves.

So we developed VivaMSc, a simpler way to research and compare Master’s programmes across UK Russell Group universities. We’ve kept our focus narrow, shaped by our own experience studying in the UK and applying for postgraduate programmes.

As VivaMSc grows, we’ll introduce anonymised application timelines to give applicants a clearer sense of how long decisions can take. They won’t predict exactly when you’ll hear back, but they’ll show how long other applicants have waited.

VivaMSc is the tool we wish we had when we were applying. It’s free to use for now, and we hope it makes the process a little easier.
