MAs, Diplomas and Certificates
Course Structure
Most of our courses offer exit points at Certificate level (the successful completion of two 30-credit modules or equivalent) and at Diploma level (the successful completion of four 30-credit modules or equivalent). For the MA you will be expected to complete the equivalent of four 30-credit modules with the associated written work and a dissertation.
