Students are given feedback throughout the course to develop and improve their technical knowledge, skills and understanding. Emphasis is placed on the application of technical understanding to case based and impact focused scenarios through the use of assessments. **Teaching contact hours -** This is a full-time course. The learning, teaching and assessment contact hours for all the 30 credit modules are as follows: ****Lecture:** 20 hours** ****Seminar:** 40 hours** ****Self-directed study:** 200 hours** ****Consolidation:** 35 hours** ****Assessment:** 5 hours**
