The programme comprises 120 credits in total (30 European Credit Transfer System per semester): taught modules worth 105 ECTS in total, and a supervised dissertation worth 15 ECTS. The credit rating of a module is proportional to the total workload, with 1 credit being nominally equivalent to 10 hours of work. Each taught seminar is underpinned by reading and essay assignments.
The last semester of the entire programme may take place at Centre for International Studies and Development.
