Students are encouraged to discuss a range of options which may be undertaken in order to fulfil the requirements for the award with the relevant course coordinator. In addition to those listed, to provide flexibility, students may select from a range of Graduate Diploma programs offered by the School. Students should seek advice when constructing their individual program of study from the relevant course coordinator.
