The Olympics and Paralymipics inspired London in 2012, inspiration and individuality are a part of the programme…

We have a home campus but this is self managed learning so a lot happens at a distance. Everyone will have an academic adviser to help.

A liberal estimate of the time it will take during the 12 week study periods is approximately 6 hours per week (or more). Schedule this into your own diary as study time so that the work can fit around your other jobs.

We work with social media, digital media and paper copies. Deadlines for drafts and final work are important.

Assessment is clearly outlined in the Programme Handbook & Module Handbooks. Assessment this term is due to be submitted 7th January 2013.

The Readers are there to support your learning and to challenge you. They are not there as just ‘content’ to learn… but are there to get you thinking about your professional practice.
