Thinking of doing an MA?
MAs are of one year duration and include a research thesis which is submitted during the summer. Candidates take six modules and write a dissertation under the supervision of a designated supervisor. The 90 credits for the M.A. are made up of 60 credits awarded for taught modules and 30 credits for the dissertation. Some modules are compulsory.
