FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is a Masters Programme for me?
Many people are put off by Masters study as they assume it will be all essays and no action. Our programme is VERY different. Whilst you still earn a rigorous qualification, you will focus on action. And there are no essays/dissertations.
HOW DOES FINANCE WORK?
Masters programmes are inevitably very expensive… and with several residentials included in the cost ours is not one of the cheaper ones. Government finance is available for most UK residents applying for our programme.
