Course programme
Study takes the form of supervised individual research where students will work on one topic of their choice for the duration of the study period.
Written work will be regularly submitted to the supervisor who will provide feedback and agree the next stage of work.
Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the majority of time is spent in independent study and research. Students will have meetings with their academic supervisor(s), but the frequency of these will vary depending on individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and stage of programme.
