Learning and teaching

• The Level 6 Short Course is an online course.
• Learning and teaching involve working your way through a series of online asynchronous modules to complete the Unit.
• Teaching sessions are recorded and provide links to online resources to support your learning.
• As a part time asynchronous course, students progress at their own pace and are given 12 months (inclusive of assessment) to complete the course.
• Students can fit the course around their other commitments and may complete the course in advance of the maximum registration period.
• Independent learning complements the teaching you receive on your course and allows time for skills and knowledge to be developed.
• Key aspects of learning develop through the acquisition of research skills, the generation and development of ideas, and independent study.

Assessment

• Assessment is the process of evaluating or assessing your learning.
• Sometimes it will involve consideration of work in progress, while at others it concentrates on work which you have completed and submitted as assessment requirements for each unit of study.
• The University assesses you through the coursework that you produce as you complete the unit.
• The unit will require that you present a portfolio of work which may include finished pieces of work, written work, your research, and a reflective journal which allows you to evaluate your learning and highlight your strengths and areas for further development.

Entry requirements

• UK and International: Completion of a Level 3 qualification or sufficient evidence provided through work experience to show you are ready for the course.
