Course Information
A Typical Course Module
The courses, (or modules), that make up your degree programme will vary from the very theoretical to the very practical, but a ‘typical’ course might include 30 hours of lectures and ten hours of practical classes. You will need to do a lot of work in your own time, however you will be able to do much of your practical work when it suits you best.
You will complete coursework for the majority of your modules and will take your exams at the end of each year. All of your grades will count towards your degree, with the project having the highest weighting of all of your modules.
