Programme Structure

There may be an opportunity to participate in small-group teaching, if this is relevant to the student's project. More general small-group teaching may be available.

Students are expected to undertake a literature review relevant to their chosen research project.

There are relevant conferences in the UK and overseas throughout the year. If a student has developed their research to a sufficient level to coincide with a relevant conference, then there could be the opportunity to present at the meeting.
