Our Masters Programmes lead to an MSc degree. They can be taken as a one-year stand-alone programme, or as the first year of a four-year doctoral programme.

Doctoral Programmes

Our Doctoral Programmes lead to a PhD. They are normally four years long, and consist of a one-year MSc followed by a three-year period of study leading to a PhD.
