  • The lectures and the university is beyond my expectations. It is so good. Facilities should be available for 1st to 3rd-year students more.

  • It has been really good overall. I took time to adjust in university life. Once I settled in I found it extremely rewarding.

Course programme

The full-time version of this programme involves taught sessions over two ten-week teaching periods, plus a period of research and writing over the summer. In each teaching period you will study a core course in values-based practice and an optional course. A credit bearing training course runs throughout both training periods. During the final phase of the programme you will undertake supervised study of a specialised topic of your choice, researching and writing a 15,000 word dissertation.

You can choose optional courses from within those designated for the programme and, with the convenor’s permission, other appropriate masters levels courses offered within the University. The school’s graduate training course will prepare you to work on your dissertation and to prepare a proposal and funding application for PhD work, should you choose to pursue doctoral research.

The programme is made up of four components:

  • Core courses: taught over two ten-week teaching periods, from October to December and January to March
  • Optional courses: also taught in ten-week blocks. Full-time students usually study one topic course in each semester
  • Training course: taught on occasional study days throughout the year
  • A dissertation: written during the final phase of the course, from April to September.

Part-time students take both core courses and the graduate training course in the first year and take two option courses and write a dissertation in the second year.
