Both degrees run as integrated, one-year, taught courses aiming for breadth and depth of understanding. We draw students from ages 21 to 71, from all corners of the globe, and from backgrounds in the humanities, sciences, engineering, and the civil service. This diversity makes us thrive. Part-time study is available, too. Typical applicants seek: preparation for PhD research, career development and enhancement, and personal enrichment.
