THEC-APC07: PG Cert Wellbeing & Human Development

Mode of attendance: Part time


Year 1, Semester 1

Part-time students must complete the mandatory units (and a selection of optional units) as listed below however, the units selected, and the balance between one year and the next, will vary with the individual students' specific requirements. This will be determined through discussion with, and subsequent agreement by, the Director of Studies. Typically part-time PGDip and PGCert students will follow a 21-month or 16-month (respectively) taught programme and will usually take either two or three units in each semester, aiming to complete 30 credits in the first year and 30 in the second year. Preference is given to completing as many of the compulsory units in the first year of studies (so as to provide the core knowledge). Optional units along with any remaining compulsory units are taken in the second year. However the actual balance will be flexible but subject to agreement by the Director of Studies (for example the number of compulsory units as well as the actual units taken each year may vary slightly).
