Phase 1
The coursework component consists of the first year. Courses are conducted in the classroom in an intensive workshop model with face-to-face contact. All modules are assessed by written assignments. The transition between the coursework phase and the research phase is by the candidate satisfactorily completing the set of assessed Research Proposals (one for each research project).

Phase 2:
On satisfactory completion of the coursework units that are scheduled over the first year, candidates enter the research phase where they undertake individual, supervised research projects.
