In order to introduce more choice for our students, we are pleased to inform you that from September 2014, we will offer a new option on all our MSc programmes. You will be able to choose from the following:

• The existing 9 month MSc programme running from September 2014 to June 2015 – with graduation for successful candidates in July 2015.
• A new option of a 12 month MSc programme running from September 2014 to September 2015 with graduation for successful candidates in December 2015.

The new 12 month option will involve a compulsory 20 credit Research Project completed between June and September 2015, which would also mean a 20 credit reduction in the number of taught modules taken in the spring term. Completing a 12 month degree can be important for students who wish to be able to demonstrate their ability to carry out independent research prior to application to a PhD programme or to show prospective employers as evidence of the quality of work they can produce.

If you require a VISA to study in the UK, please make sure you indicate which version of our programmes you would like to follow when applying for your CAS.
