How you'll learn

We use a wide variety of teaching and learning methods, which include weekly three-hour workshops. These are interactive and require a high level of preparation. Your tutor will supervise the research project and dissertation.

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