MSc in Theoretical Psychoanalytic Studies

Flexible/Modular Students

Flexible/Modular students can spread the five MSc Modules over a period of up to five years. The Programme Tutor meets with flex/modular students at the beginning of the programme to discuss a plan of study. Students must then select the modules they wish to take each year by October via Portico. It is important to select the correct modules each year as Flex/Modular students' fees are charged pro-rata depending on the number of credits taken in each year.

There are no rules on how many modules flexible/modular students must take each year, but on choosing a module students are committed to attending and completing all the related seminars and assessment in that academic year. The dissertation must be selected in the final year of study.

Although a flexible/modular student's workload is lighter and attendance is less than that of full-time students, it is ESSENTIAL that flex/modular students keep ALL Friday afternoons (from 12.30pm) and Saturdays free during the academic year as seminars are scheduled at any time convenient to the teachers during those periods, rather than assigning 'flex/modular' and 'full-time' teaching periods. This is especially important for those students who may be negotiating time off from their employment to attend the MSc on a part-time basis.
