Course Modules 2024
The majority of our undergraduate programmes are delivered as “Block and Blend” Block and blend is an innovative way of delivering learning and teaching, and we believe has many advantages for you. The primary advantage of block learning is that you would typically complete one module at a time, while on standard semesterised courses, students typically study three modules at a time. Watch our Block and Blend video for more information.
There is just one mandatory double module within this course which is the Dissertation Module which provides 60 credits at Level 7.
