The standard modules for each course are designed to help you choose a suitable curriculum to facilitate your studies. Please select one of the four courses according to your area of interest and research theme, then use this as a guide to choosing the specific modules for your course. Students whose research interests span more than one course, or who wish to acquire a broader knowledge, are free to take standard modules from other courses under the guidance of their supervisor.
A minimum of 20 credits (more than 10 modules) from the optional modules must be completed.
