Flexible / Modular study

Our MRes is available to study part-time on a flexible modular basis over any duration between 2 and 5 years, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking further study alongside work commitments.

Because the class contact time is restricted to only 2 days per week for full-time students, a part-time route can be followed with minimum study leave required.

There are 6 modules on our MRes and with modular study, you are able to select which modules you will take each year.  Each module has a different credit rating, and generally only runs over one term - all you pay for is the credit value of the module you are taking.
