Overview
This 12-month course is ideal if you want to develop skills in a range of areas. It includes project work and an introduction to research level theory.
You’ll take taught classes for the first two semesters. In the third semester, you’ll work on an extended research project of your own.
Employers value this kind of experience. By the time you graduate, you will have proved you can work within a research group, organise your own research, complete a project and communicate your findings.
