Full-time students will normally complete stage 1 prior to stage 2. Part-time students will, however, be able to take a stage 2 module in their first year on the course in order to balance the spread of learning activity over the longer period of their study. Stage 3 Students must complete stages 1 and 2 before beginning stage 3. The modules and the learning experiences of stages 1 and 2 provide the necessary knowledge and skills for engaging in stage 3 work.
