A typical week
A full-time student will normally study 4 modules (i.e. ‘classes’) each semester.
Modules run throughout the day and many are available in the evening. You’ll select your modules online and build up your own timetable.
Your modules may include lecturers, seminars, tutorials, practical work and placements.
Each module has a ‘module guide’, which gives you detailed information on reading lists, assignments and learning outcomes. These guides will help you plan your work and will signpost useful resources.
