Students are encouraged to engage in research seminars, public lectures, and optional placement or study abroad years.The curriculum progresses from foundational modules in the first year to specialized electives in the second, culminating in a third-year dissertation on a chosen topic. Assessment involves essays, examinations, and coursework, with a focus on self-directed learning to foster independent research skills.
