Course structure
A typical week for you will include weekly three-hour workshops. These are interactive and require a high level of preparation. You’ll be supervised by your tutor when carrying out your research project and dissertation.
Your progress will be assessed by written coursework, usually a 5,000 word essay for each taught module.
Compared to an undergraduate course, you’ll find that this Masters course requires a higher level of independent working.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
