  • The course begins with five key taught modules and a group project. 
  • The individual project will begin with a literature review followed by the research project over a period of approximately 8 months.
  • Projects will be selected from a list of topics provided by the Hamlyn academics and others at Imperial field.
  • During the studies students will complete:
    • A group research skills project
    • An 8-month multidisciplinary research project
    • Presentation at the end of the year
    • Taught courses
    • Transferable skills training from the Graduate School
  • Students complete their studies with the skills required to have a successful career within an industry or an academic research position such as a PhD studentship.
