We recognise that mature students, over the age of 21, may offer a combination of qualifications and experience and their applications will be considered on that basis. The wide range of teaching methods include illustrated lectures, visiting speakers, vocational projects, practicals, field work, computer-aided learning, tutorials and seminar presentations. Many units are assessed by a range of coursework methods alone, although some do include a formal examination. Assignments may include written reports, practical files, posters and oral presentations. More information can be obtained on application.
Strong emphasis is placed on relevant careers education throughout all our courses.
