All MSc students undertake an independent research project, which culminates in a dissertation of approximately 15,000-words and a project presentation.
Teaching and learningThe programme is delivered through seminar-style lectures and problem and computer-based classes. Student performance is assessed through a combination of unseen examination and coursework. For the majority of courses, the examination makes up between 90–100% of the assessment. The project is assessed through the dissertation and an oral presentation.
