We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
You will typically receive around ten hours of contact teaching per week. The contact hours may be made up of a combination of face-to-face teaching, individual and group sessions, and online classes.
Additionally, you would be expected to undertake significant self-directed study of approximately 46 hours each week, depending on the demands of individual modules.
Course content will be taught by university staff and supplemented by representatives from industry such as experts, consultants and contractors (subject to availability), who will share knowledge and insights from their industries2.
Activity-based learning is used throughout the delivery of the module, to maximise the opportunities to apply theory and processes to real-life situations.
As an innovative and enterprising institution, the university may deliver certain contact hours and assessments via emerging online technologies and methods across all courses.

The form of delivery will be determined in accordance with Government and Public Health guidance.
Your learning will be assessed using a combination of exams and coursework, including essays, reports, presentations, simulations and workshop activities.
All of our assessments give you the opportunity to demonstrate subject knowledge and develop professional skills, including report-writing, structuring a logical argument, analysing data or making a compelling presentation.
