Is the Institute of Masters of Wine study programme full time?
The study programme is principally self-study and is not full time. The academic year begins in mid-September and finishes at the end of May. Students participate in a one-week residential seminar during the academic year, may also attend course days, and get the support of a Master of Wine mentor. They also submit regular written assignments for marking and feedback. The residential seminars are offered on three continents: Europe, Australasia and North America.
