As well as our general courses and resources, the Graduate School provides a range of Cohort Delivery provision for particular groups of students e.g. block booking a course for an entire MRes/MSc programme or specific group of Doctoral students. We are also able to deliver customised versions of existing short courses.

Different Types of Cohort Delivery

The Graduate School offers four different types of cohort delivery, as listed below.
