Teaching
Depending on which module you select, the course is either delivered entirely online, through a dedicated distance learning portal over one term, or face to face over two terms. For the online variant, you will use a mixture of online text extracts and journals, and will undertake regular tasks alongside the end of module assignments. 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. For the face-to-face variant, the course will be delivered through a variety of teaching methods: lectures, seminars, discussions, presentations and case studies etc.
