What you will study

In year one, you’ll complete two modules and start working with a supervisor, who will be allocated at the beginning of the course in response to your draft proposal required for entry. The two modules will be taught in four study blocks per year (Friday afternoon and Saturday) to offer you a flexible approach to doctoral study. In year two, you’ll also complete two modules and continue working with your supervisor on refining your research proposal and submitting the ethics application.
