Learning Materials
We will provide printed study texts for each module you take with us. These are also available as searchable documents on the Virtual Learning Environment.

Assignments
Assignments are a vital part of our learning programme as they reinforce and support the course content and the workshops. Depending on which module you are enrolling on, there will be either three to four assignments, all of which are marked by the tutor who will provide you with detailed feedback - highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of your assignment. The first two assignments for each module are compulsory and must be completed before you are able to sit the exam.

Virtual Learning Environment
The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) gives students access to a host of learning materials and resources, plus an online community where you can contact your fellow students and the course tutors.

Tutor Support
Each tutor works with a group of between 10 and 16 students. Each group has their own online discussion forum where you can contact your tutor or your fellow students.
