Undertaking a masters programme is a serious commitment, with weekly contact hours being in addition to numerous hours of independent learning and research needed to progress at the required level. When coursework or examination deadlines are approaching independent learning hours may need to increase significantly. Please contact the course convenor for precise information on the number of contact hours per week for this programme.

Full-time study with Industrial Experience

We offer an industrial experience option on all our full-time taught MSc programmes combining academic study with a one-year industrial placement. Taking this option as part of your degree gives you a route to apply your skills in a professional context, giving you an important edge in the graduate job market.

Although we cannot guarantee a placement (employers conduct their own application and interview processes), we provide help to identify suitable opportunities and, as a leading research School, we have excellent links with industry. We can also help you with writing your job applications and preparing for interviews. If you are an international student, the placement option also allows you to gain valuable UK work experience; as well as this, being registered on a degree with industrial experience will mean your student visa will cover the duration of the two-year course.

Part-time study options often mean that the number of modules taken is reduced per semester, with the full modules required to complete the programme spread over two academic years. Teaching is generally done during the day and part-time students should contact the course convenor to get an idea of when these teaching hours are likely to take place. Timetables are likely to be finalised in September but you may be able to gain an expectation of what will be required.

We regret that, due to complex timetabling constraints, we are not able to guarantee that lectures and labs for part time students will be limited to two days per week, neither do we currently support any evening classes. If you have specific enquiries about the timetabling of part time courses, please contact the MSc Administrator.
