KEY COURSE FEATURES
ASSESSMENT & TEACHING
Students will be expected to attend face-to-face teaching across three residential teaching weekends per academic year (running between Saturday noon-Monday noon, different timings apply). Students will also be expected to attend two ‘on campus’ days per academic year.

Each residential weekend will be focused on a different core module (e.g. developmental psychology). The remainder of the study will be self-directed distance learning from home.
Study at home will include reading, the completion of set assignments, the viewing of webinar material and engagement in online forum discussions.
Assignments include the completion of essays, reports, poster presentations, oral presentations and coursework.
