In addition to timetabled classroom sessions, sufficient time will be provided each week for self-directed study and to undertake assignments and coursework. Attendance in your third semester will be more flexible, typically involving regular scheduled meetings with your assigned supervisor to discuss progress with your individual dissertation project.
