Ninety minutes: forty of teaching, fifty of working on your own material with the session lead in the room. Bring the thing you are stuck on. Sessions are capped at thirty places on campus and are not recorded, so people speak freely.
There is no fee and no requirement to be affiliated with the institute. We ask only that you release your place if you cannot attend.
Seminars are the shallow end
The certificate programmes take the same material over eight to ten weeks, with supervision on your own manuscript throughout.
