Hi there, our undergraduate modules are taught by supported distance learning, which means that students study entirely from home. You will be sent written module material that is either sent to your home together with other learning materials such as books. All our modules require you to have regular access to a computer and some are taught completely online.

You will complete work within your own time and your tutor will set you work to complete through the weeks of your study. You will have a week by week study planner which you will have to adhere to on the lead up to your assignment dates.

Your tutorials will be all online and you can book on to them at a time that best suits your circumstances. Some tutorials are recorded so you can refer back to them at later times. Please be aware some tutorials are not recorded and if you cannot attend, you must let your tutor know so they can provide you an alternative. You will also be assigned a tutor who will assist you academically, as well as a Student Support team who can support you on a range on issues including (but not limited to): disability support, financial support and study skills support.
