Why Choose This Programme?

This is not a taught course; you will undertake a substantial, original research project under the supervision of at least two academic members of staff. The programme is distinctive for its focus on independent study, allowing students to:

• Attend postgraduate seminar series to develop subject-specific knowledge and relevant research skills.
• Present work at major conferences and in refereed publications.
• Benefit from a fully supportive research environment with flexible supervision.

The degree is assessed solely on the final, written thesis, which must be defended in a viva.
