The topics will be decided in discussion between the student's supervisor and the student. If a student intends to pursue a PhD, the topics may inform the intended research area of the doctoral thesis. If a student does not intend to pursue a PhD the topics relate to other research the student may intend to pursue. Teaching is on a one-to-one basis with the research supervisor supported by auditing a course from the Masters (MBA/MSc) programme.
