You will also have the opportunity to take one 'free-choice' module in any field of study taught at the University. The complete course profile is available to you on UEA's website.
Structure
Courses are taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and fieldwork. Assessment is in the form of coursework, presentations, projects and examinations.
