In order to be eligible for the Circular Economy (MSc) (fusion on-site), students need to obtain 180 SCQF level 11 credits.
The MSc must be completed within 3 years.
Across the 3 years of study, students must take the following:
a) 30 credits of programme compulsory core courses*:
- Fundamentals of a Circular Economy
- Designing for a Circular Economy
- Circular Economy in Business
Please Note: As a continuing part-time student, you may be offered alternative arrangements for any programme compulsory core courses you did not study in Year 1 of your programme. Please contact your Programme Director if you have any queries.

Please Note: As a continuing part-time student, you may be offered alternative arrangements for any Shared Core courses you did not study in Year 1 of your programme. Please contact your Programme Director if you have any queries.
c) 40-50 credits of optional courses. These must include:

We would recommend that you aim to balance your course credits across the 3 years evenly. This is to ensure student workload is balanced. However, we appreciate that this may not always be possible (or preferrable) for part-time students.
All taught courses must be taken before the MSc final project.
