Learning and teaching
This programme is a Masters degree by research. This means that students are taught core principles and then develop these skills by doing interesting, innovative research, supported by academic staff and peers. This is structured so that students learn how to plan, organise and manage their time; they learn what it is to be a scientific researcher; they help contribute to the development of new knowledge; they learn intellectual skills such as argumentation, exposition, and reasoning; and they develop as an individual by improving their communication skills, writing, collaborative working and creativity.
