PSC Structure

Modules

The PSC comprises three compulsory modules, each with fast track options throughout the year and five Elective routes offering a wide range of subjects to choose from– all of which can be booked individually. This means you can match your Electives to fit with your areas of interest or career direction. You must study all three core modules and 24 hours of Electives.
