The courses at University of Sheffield start in September and the courses at Hong Kong Baptist University start in the following January.

The dissertation is the final project for this programme. It’s an individual project. Students can submit a topic and a supervisor will be assigned either from Hong Kong Baptist University or Sheffield to supervise the project production. A student can communicate with the supervisor either in person, or through the internet such as email or Skype. So, you can do the Dissertation in any part of the world. However, we still highly recommend students to have occasional face to face meetings with their supervisors.
