Postgraduate taught programmes are open to students who have completed an undergraduate degree. There is a wide range of courses to choose from that lead to M.A., M.B.S., M.Sc. and M.Eng. qualifications. Many of these are interdisciplinary, involving different schools or faculties. The programmes are delivered through lectures and seminars. Taught postgraduate courses normally take one year of full-time study, with the summer vacation of the final year being devoted to the preparation and submission of a dissertation related to a specific aspect of the programme of study.
