The full time programme runs through two semesters and the summer “vacation” period.\u00a0 Work on the supervised dissertation project occupies the whole of the summer “vacation” period. Each semester typically includes 11 weeks of teaching, plus an “examination” period. Official session dates are given at www.ed.ac.uk\/semester-dates<\/a>. Note that in this programme we are not committed to avoiding all teaching during those weeks that are nominated as “examination” weeks, since our own courses have no examinations. However, we will do our best to avoid any clashes with external option courses that students may take. \u00a0The period following the spring vacation will otherwise be dedicated to beginning work on the Final Project.<\/p>\n
