These are designed to complement the main corpus of teaching. In addition there is a series of workshops designed to explore practice skills. Masters level students are expected to have the initiative and capacity for working without close guidance and to devote time to researching and reading in the course area. Team working is also encouraged. Whilst carrying out their research projects, students have considerable flexibility, within the constraints imposed by the availability of their supervisors and research base, to arrange their own timetable.
Work experience is considered an advantage.
The closing date for applications is Friday 16 th March 2001 . On the basis of completed application form and the two referees reports, a series of interview days will be organised.

Remaining places can then be allocated to those on the reserve list.
