What is the difference between a course and a programme?
We use the words ‘course’ and ‘programme’ interchangeably. In other words, the ‘MSc International Relations degree programme’ can also be referred to as the ‘MSc International Relations course’. Individual papers such as ‘IR410 International Politics’ are also referred to as ‘courses’ or ‘papers’. Therefore, a programme may be called a course, but a course will never be called a programme. It will all make sense when you arrive here!
