These are delivered on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and are timetabled approximately every 6 weeks. For those students who choose to study the course online, the modules are taught using pre-recorded material which is supported by and a series of 8 online synchronous sessions which last approximately an hour each. The total recommended study time for a 20-credit module is 200 hours. The dissertation is an individual research project which is supported by a dissertation supervisor who is assigned to each student to guide and mentor them through the research process.
