Course content
The School welcomes research students, who contribute a wealth of experience and knowledge to our academic community. Students undertaking research degrees are encouraged and helped to form a mutually supportive and friendly critical community. Especially in the first year of study, students meet regularly, either in person, or in the case of students working at a distance, using the internet. All of our research is enriched by connections with visiting fellows and professors, and thriving links with international partners.
