Each module has a study guide which introduces you to key topics, concepts and readings, and leads you through a series of study tasks in preparation for a final assessment. You are allocated a specialist tutor for each module, supporting your studies through regular communication via email, Zoom, online forums and virtual group tutorials.

Depending on whether you choose to do the 2-year accelerated or 3-year part-time delivery of the programme, modules are studied across two or three semesters per year. Learning is flexible in that you study from home during hours which suit your employment and personal commitments.
