Course structure

The full-time MA is available to UK (home) students and to international students requiring a Student visa.

The part-time MA might be more suitable for students with additional commitments (e.g. work or family). Part-time study can be completed in two ways.

• The 2-year MA route offers a structured route to part-time study.
• The 4-year flexible route allows students to start with a PG Certificate or PG Diploma programme and then move on to the MA course, completing all elements within four years, depending on how quickly you wish to move through the MA.

The part-time MA is NOT suitable for international students requiring a Student visa.
