Course programme
Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, students should expect to spend the vast majority of their time in independent study and research. Students will have meetings with their academic supervisor, however the regularity of these will vary depending on the student’s own individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and the stage of the programme.
How You Are Assessed
With the help of dedicated skills sessions and under the guidance of an academic supervisor, students will be expected to write a dissertation of around 25,000 words.
