There is also an IT session and the opportunity to meet with the Course Director, Subject Leaders and Personal Tutors. In addition, students are required to complete the research project during their second year. The course is primarily delivered over the Internet. Each subject is divided into a number of self-contained units. A schedule is issued to ensure that students know what work needs to be done during any particular week.
Students can attend as often or as little as they like.
The tutorials are scheduled for Wednesday afternoons between 1.15 and 5.15. A key text must be purchased for each subject. Details of the texts will be available at enrolment. Although the induction session at the start of the course is compulsory, the study weekends are optional. Accommodation and meals are not included in the course fees.
