Based in our lively, international campus, in one of Britain’s most multicultural cities, you will learn in a supportive environment with your fellow students and staff, engaging in a range of face-to-face taught activities including lectures, seminars, guest talks and reading groups.
Research Methods and Dissertation, with an assessed proposal, allows you to focus on a particular area of interest or expertise. You will conduct a small-scale research study based on a topic of your own choice, developed under the guidance of your supervisor.
