All our courses benefit from our dynamic method of study.
Notice also that we attach a number of 'credit points' to each course.
From the start you should plan to set aside sufficient time to benefit fully from each course. To give you some idea of the time you need, bear in mind that, regardless of the category the course belongs to, it takes approximately 10 hours of study for each credit point.
A course that carries 10 'credit points' therefore needs approximately 100 hours of study. If the course is spread over 12 weeks, you have to plan for 7 - 8 hours of study a week.
This makes clear why it is usually not a good idea to take on two or three courses at the same time.
If you're new to academic study or haven't studied for a while, a 5 point course is a good place to start. It will introduce you to a subject area and help you to develop essential study skills. They take up to 10 weeks and they're fascinating courses in their own right, even if you don't want to take your studies further. If you continue studying, you'll be well prepared to take on more demanding courses.
If you would like more detail about our way of studying, go to our methodology section.
If you're confident about what you want to do, go to our online prospectus. If you're not sure what to start with, or if you are concerned about being able to study effectively using English, write to us explaining your problem. Our Registrar or Dean of Studies will give you advice as to how to proceed.
