You are normally required to complete all the taught modules successfully before progressing to the dissertation.

The course is delivered in the form of block teaching where students usually need to attend three, four or five full consecutive days for each Module. Teaching takes place during day (09:00 to 18:00).

In two years, students are expected to complete the seven Core and two Elective taught Modules, plus a Dissertation. You are normally required to complete all the taught modules successfully before progressing to the dissertation.

Part-time students join full-time students for their chosen modules in each academic year.
