For those who have more than 80 Masters-level credits, some further reductions in study can be made.

Major projects
In your second year, you'll undertake a major dissertation in an area negotiated between yourself and University staff.

You'll engage in research, either desk-based or empirical and produce a report of approximately 15,000 words. Throughout the research you'll be supported by your supervisor who will guide you through the process.
