Practice questions, downloadable lesson materials and interactive case studies help to enhance the learning experience further, and learners should expect to spend around 4-5 hours studying independently online each week with access to Tutor support.
On campus, from week 5 you benefit from attending regular face-to-face fortnightly classes with a college tutor. Your tutor will review what you have learnt during your online lessons and will be on hand to provide guidance on progress and assessment. Regular discussion with classmates will help to reinforce key points while also providing the additional support and motivation that comes from being part of a group.
