Our degrees are often taken in part-time mode.
You can take up to five years to complete the degree, which gives you some flexibility in deciding which modules to take and when. However, please bear in mind that classes are scheduled between 9am and 6pm. Each term runs for 11 weeks.
We aim to deliver all the core modules (and some of the optional ones) in a single day of the week throughout the term in which the module is offered. This allows you to minimise the disruption that part-time study may cause to your work commitments, and to study part-time on a day release mode. This means that you will be able to do the Masters by attending each term on a single day of the week. Employers are often happy to release staff to study in this mode.
Please note that the availability of the day-release mode depends on the timetable.
Day-release in 2024-25
We have made it possible for the programmes below to be taken in two years on a part-time day-release mode. Please note that the proposed timetable applies to 2024/25 entry, and that the proposed diet of modules is only a suggestion; other combinations may be possible, which you can discuss with the course directors.
The Individual Project takes 12 weeks at the end of Year 2, starting immediately after the exams in May.
