Part Time Study (two years)

Flexible arrangements can be offered to part-time students, under the general principle that such students will complete the equivalent of one year of full-time study before completing the degree.

The two year arrangement is designed for students who are able to attend classes at the University on a regular basis. Such students will typically follow half of the taught modules that are available during each of the Michaelmas (weeks 1-10) and Lent (weeks 11-21) terms during each of their two years. Assessment will be made during the respective year of study alongside full-time students studying the module.

Subject to time-tabling and module pre-requisites, a suitable split of the modules will be designed for individual students; recognising their other time constraints and previous knowledge. Students will begin their dissertation during the first summer following registration on the course, and complete it and write their dissertation during the second summer.

Examinations, dissertation submission dates, assessment and awards

Students will have to be present at the University for all written examinations.

Part-time students should normally take examinations during the same examination period as full-time students, and they should submit the dissertation by the same deadline stipulated for full-time students.
