We set out below the typical teaching contact hours that you will receive on this course. In addition to the contact hours below, we offer the opportunity to attend additional optional sessions, such as guest lectures (subject to availability), or to meet with staff during their advice and feedback hours.
Within your first and second semester, you should have around 13 contact hours of teaching a week. The contact hours may be made up of a combination of face-to-face teaching, individual and group tutorials, and online classes and tutorials.
A strong emphasis is placed on the Postgraduate Business Project module in your final semester and therefore total teaching contact hours may be reduced.
In addition, you will be expected to undertake roughly 12 hours of self-directed studying and revising in your own time each week, including some guided study using handouts, online activities etc.
As an innovative and enterprising institution, the University may seek to utilise emerging technologies within the student experience.
