All teaching and programme activities are timetabled on Friday afternoons and Saturdays during term time, with typically three 1.5 hour seminars each day. Full-time students attend all seminars, while part-time and modular/flexible students attend only the seminars for the module(s) they are registered for in any particular year.
Although a part-time or flexible/modular student's workload is lighter and attendance is less than that of full-time students, it is essential that students keep all Friday afternoons (noon to early evening) and Saturdays (morning to mid-afternoon) free during the academic year as module seminars are not scheduled at set times every week, but are rather scheduled at any time(s) convenient to the teachers during those periods. This is especially important to note for those students who may be negotiating time off from their employment to attend the MSc on a part-time basis.
In addition to attending seminars during term-time, students will be required to sit exams (typically scheduled in May/June), and also work on the dissertation during the summer period.
