Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences

This is an advanced-level course of study, often similar to honours.

Students normally will have already completed the equivalent of a major sequence in the relevant discipline(s) before being admitted to this course. Individual programs of study are designed for each student and may include research methods and preparation of a dissertation.

As well as being a stand-alone qualification, the course can be used as an alternative pathway to a higher degree by research (master's or PhD).
