.Students take a combination of core and elective modules. Parts I and II consist of core modules only. Part III is a mixture of core and elective with Part IV comprising a selection of elective modules and the completion of a core piece research work culminating in its presentation at a poster event and in a Student Conference.
Students registered for the year abroad programme will take the relevant language course for credit in years I and II, with the option to continue their language studies in the third year.
