If you are unable to commit to the full masters programme, intermediate qualifications (PgCert and PgDip) are available.
- You can focus on your own interests by choosing from a number of optional modules. If you opt for the MSc/MA qualification, the research project gives you the chance to further specialise. You study an area of interest in greater depth and gain valuable research skills. Our students often find this an excellent selling point when looking for a job or promotion.
- You will have access to a number of specialist research laboratories and analytical facilities, backed up by technical support (read more in the Facilities section).
