Programme structure
Module dates Participants will pick and choose from the available modules. Please note this is indicative and can be subject to change.
Modules Modules are delivered sequentially throughout the year with intakes in October, February and June. Typically one module will span a 17 week period, culminating in an assessment. As a guide you can expect to spend approximately 11 hours studying each week. Please note that the MSc can be completed in two years, but is more readily manageable in combination with a full working timetable over three years. There is flexibility in the order that the modules are studied. Once you have completed six of the seven available modules you will then be able to go on to study the Research Methods and Dissertation module.
Research Methods and Dissertation During the Research Methods portion of your module you will be equipped with the knowledge and general research tools to correctly execute a project such as a Masters dissertation. In your dissertation, you will identify and investigate a current research topic that will help to develop your theoretical and practical understanding. Key benefits ■ Immediate application – studying while working allows you to implement your new learning into your day-to-day role ■ Flexibility – the part-time and online nature of the module allows you to study around your commitments ■ Best practice – bring back to your organisation the latest tools, ideas and best practice ■ CPD – evidence your professional development with an accredited qualification ■ Bespoke – pick and mix the modules you wish to study.
