Modules are normally run at six week intervals (for full-time students) starting in October and ending at Easter with a Christmas vacation. Full-time students complete modules 1-4 in ascending order and the dissertation within one academic year. Part-time students take modules 1 and 3 over the first year and modules 2 and 4 over the second year, with the dissertation normally completed by the end of the third year.
The following table shows the start and finish dates for each of the four modules for the year 1997-98.
