About The Programme

The Programme consists of three components:

  • a taught component
  • a research component
  • and a skills training component

The taught component comprises modules worth 120 credits overall, consisting of six compulsory Core Modules each worth 10 credits, and then your choice of Optional Modules, normally worth another 60 credits in total.

A wide range of optional modules is available from the Universities of Bristol, Oxford and York, including The York Management School.

The Research Component follows very much the structure of a traditional PhD, except that the research project is normally carried out at the Sponsoring Organisation’s premises.

The third component is Skills Training which consists of a number of elements but focuses on transferable skills.
