A Note on Modules
Students are responsible to construct a pattern of study that makes use of the different options available. You should consult closely with your tutor about this. Students can undertake approved taught modules offered within the programme, or they can construct an Independent Study Module (ISM) to meet a particular research need. A proposal for an ISM must be discussed with the Programme Director and/or the relevant tutor. The Programme Director will decide whether the proposal can be approved as a module. A single ISM leads to a 4-5,000 word assignment or its equivalent. (For detail on submitting an ISM proposal see the IMP handbook, section 1, part 6.)
