Course programme

Year 1

Courses are divided into modules. You will take modules totalling 180-190 credits.

If you are studying full-time, you will complete the course in one year, from September to September. If you are studying part-time, your course will be delivered over two years, and you will normally study the four taught modules in Year 1, and research methods training and the dissertation in Year 2. There is some flexibility and you may prefer to study three taught modules in Year 1 and the remaining modules in Year 2.
