It is announced for the information of prospective applicants and the general public that the School of Graduate Studies is offering the under-listed sandwich/modular programmes, leading to the award of Master of Arts and Master of Science Degrees. Due to changes in the academic calendar for the 2020/2021 academic year, the programmes will be run virtually during the inter-semester break, from April to June 2021. Each cohort of admitted students on these programmes will, therefore, study over two long vacation periods to obtain the equivalence of one academic year (or two semesters).
