How will I study?

Units consist of a mix of face to face (in-person) study days in class and on-line study days or ½-days, backed up by on-line learning and personal study.

  • Different units employ varied patterns and some have a final day for a summative presentation as the assignment, others may offer optional on-line support in addition to formal teaching.
  • Research Methods is a longitudinal unit stretching from early October to mid-May (the final deadline)
  • All other units last for 12 weeks from day 1 to the final assignment deadline.

In 2024-5 in term 1 (September to December) you will study Contemporary Issues (12 weeks) and from October you will start to engage with Research Methods. Both of these units mix on-line and face to face learning.

In term 2 (from January 2025) you will pick up your 3rd unit by choosing one of Technology Enhanced Learning OR Leading in Healthcare Education. These are both 12-week units.

  • There is no teaching in the summer term.
  • If taking the Diploma over 2 years the only compulsory unit is Research Methods. You will need 2 more units alongside/ before or after RMs to complete the Diploma.
