Contact hours and workload

Your overall workload consists of class contact hours, independent learning, and assessment activities. The balance of these elements within your overall workload may vary depending on the units you choose.

Contact hours

Timetabled contact hours, which can be made up of lectures, seminars, and tutorials, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 10 and 20 hours a week during the taught semesters.

Semester 1

You'll study five compulsory units at the same time, with weekly classes across the term.

Semester 2

You’ll choose two optional units (20 credits). You’ll switch to ‘block teaching’. For your compulsory units, you will take one unit at a time, delivered in focused periods of two weeks. Then, you will take your two optional units, which will run in parallel for three weeks.

Additional briefing sessions will be provided to help you prepare for the dissertation/practice track period and as part of the co-curricular offering of live projects. (See below for the co-curricular offering.) You will receive direct guidance from an allocated member of academic staff for your dissertation/practice track activity.

Independent learning

As well as timetabled contact hours, you're expected to undertake independent learning and assessment. Typically, this might be around 25 - 30 hours per week, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework, presentations, or revising for exams.

Recognition of professional qualifications

As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
