Background

During 2001 we have been totally revising our two Masters courses. The flexible structure, enables courses to be introduced ‘easily’ and ‘rapidly’ updated i.e., flexible and adaptable to change. This process has now been completed.

The department has a respectable ‘4’ research rating in the recent UK University wide research assessment, which underpins our MSc courses.
