LTSM’s Masters programmes attract highly-motivated graduates from around the world. Programmes follow a modular framework in which students follow a core set of taught modules specified for their programme and then select from a variety of optional modules. This allows students to tailor their programmes according to their individual interests and prior experience. Each Masters programme runs for approximately 50 weeks and comprises orientation, taught modules and a research project leading to the submission of a dissertation. All programmes also offer the opportunity to exit at Postgraduate Certificate (60-credit) or Diploma (120-credit) level. Degrees are awarded by the University of Liverpool.
Changes have been made to our MSc programmes for 2010-11. Please look at the web pages for individual programmes for further details.
