Stages 1 and 2:

Each stage will contain two modules, with 30 credits awarded per module.

The learning will address important issues within the sector, drawing on key points, to ensure you gain a thorough understanding of the topics.

Students must complete and successfully pass the assigned coursework assessments and the final exam at the end of each stage to claim their award.
Pre-recorded academic lectures will be released each week, accompanied with the prescribed reading, any additional reading and/or research, as required. Directed reading will relate to provided case law, and will also include reading from legislation, books, articles, academic and professional journals.
The learning from the lectures will be emphasised with an array of case studies, practice examples and resources, to challenge thinking in a practical context. Engaging activities on the discussion forum, the use of quizzes, polls and other forum built-in activity will further validate the learning objectives.
Each main topic will end with a live-online tutorial, conducted by the lecturers. The tutorials are designed to be interactive, providing students with the opportunity to ask questions and to consider issues from different perspectives.

Stage 3:

This stage is the concluding phase of the MSc qualification, culminating with the submission of a 15,000-word dissertation.

The main objective of the dissertation is to apply the knowledge of International Taxation through research, to explore the unknown and unlock new possibilities within the practice area. With the knowledge gained from Stages 1 and 2 of the programme, students are guided to conduct a careful and detailed study of a proposed problem or concern in International Taxation and provide an appropriate recommendation in response.

Stage 3 consists of introductory lectures that cover the essentials of topic selection and the guidance to a well-written proposal and a structured dissertation.
Each student will be appointed a supervisor and will be required to book at least three sessions of live online interaction with their supervisor for guidance during the writing of their dissertation.

Upon successful completion of all three stages of the MSc qualification, students will be awarded the MSc qualification and will be fully equipped to pursue a career in International Taxation.
