Our specialist modules and research projects empower you to tailor your education and develop expertise in the topics that interest you. At the same time, research-led content will stretch you to master fundamental principles and get you up to date on the latest thinking.

You will learn through a combination of lectures, laboratory sessions and tutorial classes, spending about 20 hours a week on these classes. The rest of your week is made up of independent learning. A full week is about 30-40 hours of study in total.
