Course programme
Year 1
The programme is studied over one year, full-time. Not all these option modules will necessarily be available in any given year. Students may also be permitted to take an option module from a cognate discipline, for example sociology or social policy.
Two option modules are taken, as listed below, to the value of 20 ECTS (40 CATS). Students will also be able to access more advanced research methods modules and other relevant social science modules (including economics) where they hold the relevant prerequisites. Not all modules will run each year. Students will receive guidance from the MSc coordinator in making their selection.
The dissertation is undertaken during the summer after semester 2 ends. You may take one optional module from other disciplines within Social Sciences.
