Students will be offered a blended educational experience with a mix of in person and online teaching. The in person teaching will consist of small group work, laboratory practicals and field work/alternative activities. To achieve the intended learning outcomes across the programme and to satisfy any accreditation requirements, students will be expected to undertake some in person teaching.
Students who successfully complete the preliminary year will then go on to complete their studies on the BSc programme (see separate programme specification for structure).
