Course Details

The Master's degree program is designed to accommodate students with various responsibilities, including work and family responsibilities. The course structure includes three years of part-time study, 12 months of full-time study starting in September, and 16 months of full-time study starting in January. The final three months will be dedicated to the research project. Full-time study involves 15 hours of teaching time, including lectures and tutorials, and 20 hours of independent study, depending on the modules studied. The program is designed to keep the schedules within a four-hour block each day, allowing students to organize work or self-guided study around it.
Master's study is more specialized than an undergraduate degree, allowing students to focus on a specific topic and work closely with academics committed to the subject. The majority of teaching time will be in-person and face-to-face, including lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratory sessions, and project work.
Assessment is conducted through written examinations, coursework, laboratory-based project work, and a major project or dissertation. Students can test their skills and knowledge informally before undergoing assessments that count towards their final mark. Feedback on practice and formal assessments is available to help students improve in the future.
