Teaching
Depending on which module you select, the course is either delivered entirely online, through a dedicated distance learning portal, or face to face with weekly lectures. For the online variant, you will use a mixture of online text extracts and journals, and will undertake regular tasks alongside their end-of-module assignments. Alternatively, for the face-to-face variant, the course will be delivered through a variety of teaching methods: lectures, seminars, discussions, presentations and case studies.
Support will be given via email and/or face-to-face with your subject tutor, depending on the delivery mode chosen for the module chosen.
Typical contact hours
Support will be given via email with your subject tutor.
Assessment
Assessment types vary depending on modules selected but may include different types of assignments, of varying lengths, as well as oral presentations. You will also complete a dissertation based on an individual research project, with support from a research supervisor.
Additional course costs
You may wish to undertake some research with children or young people that may require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check or a Certificate of Good Conduct for students from outside of the UK. A Certificate of Good Conduct can vary in price.
