Most London South Bank University Masters courses are structured such that you can choose to complete the award to Certificate level, Diploma level or full Masters level depending on how many credits you accumulate. You can also choose to upgrade a Certificate or Diploma to a higher award at a later date. Courses are available on a full-time and/or part-time basis. Normally you gain 20 credits per module and 60 credits for the final written dissertation or project.
