Dear Colleagues
We are currently doing a project at Newcastle exploring the feasibility and design of an interdisciplinary Masters. It is intended to be very flexible with the student choosing from a wide variety of subjects and disciplines to create a bespoke curriculum. This may involve taking 'modules' or undertaking a series of assignments/projects that sit outside a modular curricular, culminating in a larger inter- or transdisciplinary project.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of a flexible, interdisciplinary master's programme of this type in their institution or elsewhere? Please reply off-list with details to: [log in to unmask] We will collate responses and share with list members. And hoping this of interest to many of you.
All best
Colin and Sally
