Degree Structure

The taught part of the course comprises 7 subject modules – 6 compulsory and one optional.  These modules consist of lectures, seminars, tutorials, and example classes. Each module is assessed by coursework submission alone or a combination of examination and coursework.  Some include oral presentation of project/assignment work.

The first two academic terms consist of taught modules, followed by examinations at the end of term 2 in March.  In term 3, students continue work on their group project and their individual project under the supervision of a member of academic staff.  The Project Management exam is also in term 3.  After May, students work full time on their individual projects.
