The types of postgraduate courses we offer
We offer two types of postgraduate courses: taught courses and research courses.
Taught courses
Our courses are offered as taught postgraduate courses. Module content is delivered via lectures, seminars and workshops - and may include site visits and study groups. The content is pre-determined, and caters to the developmental needs of our students, as well as the needs of industry employers.
