Overview and delivery

Students will gain concrete skill sets that will help with career aspirations, as well as academic progression towards a Post-graduate Certificate (PgCert), Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip), Master of Science (MSc) or higher degree.

Courses are taught in modules of one/two week, with 30-35 contact hours and a combination of varying activities, including tutorials, computational/experimental lab sessions, lectures and case studies.

Each module has a variety of assessments including a combination of reports, poster and oral presentations, practical and written exams*, as well as individual and group assignments.

The preferred delivery mode is in-person at the world class NSIRC facility in Cambridge, however, there may be an opportunity to support dual/hybrid learning. Any applicant interested hybrid learning is advised to contact Brunel for more information on requirements and module timings.
