Postgraduate modules
Prospective students, unable to commit to a full programme, may wish to undertake one of the School's postgraduate modules. These can be taken separately to aid career progression and give students a taster for the challenges of postgraduate education.
Applicants interested in a specific module should contact the Programme Director to make enquiries.
