Modules
Full-time
Full-time students attend six taught Modules over two Terms, and then complete their Dissertation over three months in the summer, within the 12-month period of the degree. This is providing students pass all the taught modules at first sit.
Teaching follows standard timetable with classes delivered every week Monday to Friday (start and end times very dependent on the timetable in each academic year).
Part-time
The course on a part-time basis normally takes just over two years (up to five years). In two years, students are expected to complete six taught Modules, plus a Dissertation. This is providing students pass all the taught modules at first sit.
Part-time students join full-time students for their chosen modules in each academic year.
