Postgraduate module credits should total 180. If optional modules are available alongside core modules on your course, you should choose an amount that totals 180 credits.

How you'll learn

A typical week for you will include weekly three-hour workshops. These are interactive and require a high level of preparation. You’ll be supervised by your tutor when carrying out your research project and dissertation.

Your progress will be assessed by written coursework, usually a 5,000-word essay for each taught module. Compared to an undergraduate course, you’ll find that this master's degree requires a higher level of independent working.
