In addition, the course appeals to students from other jurisdictions who are attracted by the shorter time to qualification.

In this blended learning phase, students have access to an online learning environment, which offers resources tailored to the individual module as well as discussion areas supported by tutors.

This includes a range of assessments, such as essays, reports, problem-solving tasks, portfolios, presentations, academic posters, projects, dissertations and written examinations. The grades from formal assessments count towards your module mark.

Suggested answers to problem tasks can be used by students to check their own learning. A formative ‘mock’ for each summative assessment will be marked by lecturers with developmental feedback to prepare students for final assessments.  On supervised modules (Research Project and Dissertation), supervisors will give feedback on draft work.  Students will engage with tutors through online collaborative forums, where questions about the learning materials can be asked and answered. Optional short written tasks will allow students to submit work for further points for development.
