Course code: 0017
Coordinator: Head of department
This course provides students who already have a first degree in these or other cognate disciplines with the opportunity to further their studies in a number of areas and achieve a more advanced level of knowledge and understanding. Students may choose such a course for various reasons, including the desire to pursue their own intellectual interests, to gain more specialised and detailed understanding of a particular area (such as gender and feminism, social theory or comparative societies), to acquire technical and applied skills and knowledge or to prepare themselves for a PhD and a career in research and teaching. Those students who take the option of combining coursework with a thesis also have the experience of carrying out under supervision a research project on a topic of their choice and writing a thesis.
The masters is divided into two parts. Students may apply for entry into part I or II, depending on their qualifications. Part I consists of four coursework subjects. Part II takes the form of either four coursework subjects or two coursework subjects and a thesis of 24-30,000 words. Each part is one year full-time or two years part-time.
