Master of Science Investment Promotion & Economic Development
- Flexible (Distance Learning)

Structure and Delivery Schedule

The Programme contains six core modules, a choice from four option modules, and the Dissertation module. Students must select one option module. The following table provides an outline of the structure and delivery timing.  There will be one intake per trimester and students joining at each trimester will commence their studies with the core modules due to be delivered in that particular trimester. In this respect the Programme has been designed so as to facilitate the entry of students to the Programme at the start of any trimester. Students will normally study two 20 credit modules per trimester. If students are unable to study 2 modules in a trimester because of extenuating circumstances they will be able to take any missed module when this module is next delivered.

The Research Methods module must be taken prior to the Dissertation module.
