Course content
The only difference between the 9 month and 12 month courses is that the 12 month course includes a dissertation or business project. By contrast, students on the 9 month course take additional taught modules to make up these learning credits. Both programmes have exactly the same entry requirements and result in exactly the same award.
The 9 month variant of this programme is available for study nine months full-time over three terms from September to June (or January to September) and is University-based throughout this time.
- During the programme you will study modules totalling 180 credits.
- Please note that programme structures may be subject to change.
- Descriptions of the individual modules are given in full on the Business School postgraduate module list.
This programme is available for study 12 months full-time over three terms and is University-based throughout this time. The taught components of the programme are delivered in the first two terms, leaving the third term and most of the summer to research, write and submit your dissertation. The programme in its entirety runs from September to September (or January to January).
- During the programme you will study modules totalling 180 credits.
- Please note that programme structures may be subject to change.
