The taught programme for the masters is generally delivered from October to February and is comprised of eight modules. Each of the first five modules are delivered over two weeks. Generally the first week involves intensive teaching while the second week has fewer teaching hours to allow time for more independent learning and completion of the assessment.
Students on the part-time programme will complete all of the modules based on a flexible schedule that will be agreed with the course director.
