Your pathway gives you the opportunity to apply the skills you develop through our modules along with knowledge from various disciplines, giving you deeper and more critical understanding of your chosen options. Your choices of other modules should be meaningful. For this reason, we work closely with you to help you construct a degree that best suits your interests and future ambitions.
Our Problem-Based Learning approach means you'll become an active producer of ideas. We also believe that the skills you'll acquire are just as important as your course content. You'll have opportunities to gain certificates demonstrating relevant professional skills, giving you the edge when it comes to your employability. If you want to extend your learning and broaden your perspective by studying overseas, we can support you to apply for a year's study abroad at a leading institution. This would extend the duration of your course by one year.
Students are automatically enrolled on the three-year course, however you have the option to change to a four-year course with an intercalated year in the third year. During the intercalated year, you may pursue a study abroad programme or a work placement (subject to you meeting departmental academic requirements).
