• Course description
  This programme is unlike many other Master's programme in that a major part of the award is based on the final dissertation, which makes up some two-thirds of the credits required to pass the degree. The programme provides a more critical and rigorous exploration of the particular subject area than may be found in a more vocationally orientated Master's programme. It places much more emphasis on original research and the contribution to knowledge than would normally be expected of a vocational or professional degree student.
  
  At the end of this programme successful students may wish to consider whether to register for a doctoral programme since it provides a useful 'taster' of research training and experience for those considering this route. The programme is also unusual in that most students will each have an individually designed programme of courses to suit their particular subject interests.
  
  Overall, students are likely to be graduates in relevant disciplines, consultants or practising managers who wish to develop sophisticated research skills and apply them to a specific subject area.
