Unlike many similar courses in the UK there are no requirements to take core or compulsory modules for this course, or to take particular subjects or modules. This ensures you have the flexibility to tailor your degree to your needs.

You will be assigned an advisor of studies who will help you choose the combination of modules that best reflect your interest and ambitions.
