Courses and subject groups

Clicking on the course titles below leads to more detailed course information, including reading lists and instructor biographies. Students accepted on PKP are also able to access syllabi for all the courses through the online application system.

Module 1 courses are taught in July and Module 2 courses in August, while Module 3 courses are taught over July and August. Each course involves twenty-five hours of contact time and is worth the same number of credits.

Once students are accepted on to the programme they will be able to choose their courses online. Because of timetabling conflicts however it may not be possible to take any three courses. Once students choose their first course from the online list, course options in subsequent lists will be limited to those courses on the timetable which do not conflict with previous choices.
