Weeks 1 to 7: Taught Phase
During the first half of the module, you will work through structured teaching and learning materials available on the University's online learning platform. These materials are designed to promote active and independent learning. You should expect to spend approximately 10 hours per week engaging with asynchronous online learning activities. In addition, optional two-hour live sessions with a tutor are provided, typically between 9:00am and 5:00pm (GMT). These sessions are recorded and made available to students who are unable to attend. Alongside the guided learning activities, you will undertake independent study to deepen your understanding of the subject matter.
Weeks 8 to 14: Assessment Phase
During the second half of the module, the emphasis shifts towards consolidating your learning, undertaking further reading and research, and completing your assessment. You should expect to spend approximately 20 hours per week during this period on assessment-related activities and independent study.
Throughout the module, you will have opportunities to participate in regular seminars and receive academic support from Associate Lecturers, including scheduled one-to-one meetings where appropriate.
Assessments for a 30-credit module are typically submitted in Week 14.
