Teaching & Learning
Distance learning
We understand that full-time study does not suit everyone. That’s why we offer courses which give you the opportunity to decide where, when and how you can get involved in learning. Studying a distance learning course offers the convenience and flexibility to make education work for you. Whether you’d like to fit your studies around childcare, develop your skills while working or, quite simply, want to learn from the comfort of your own home, we can help you gain a qualification at a time and pace that suits your lifestyle.
Like our students on campus, you’ll have the same excellent teaching and learning resources, however you’ll find these online instead of a lecture theatre. Not only are all the modules taught online, but you’ll also have access to an online community and more than 140,000 books and journals in our online library.
Technical requirements for distance learning study are detailed in the full guide. Visit our distance learning website for more information.
Overall workload
Each module on our distance learning courses is individually designed to maximise your learning so study requirements will vary. As a guideline you'll need to allocate around 10 hours per week to complete each module plus a further five hours for additional reading and assignments. If you undertake the part-time delivery, you'll be required to study two modules concurrently (a minimum of approximately 25 hours per week).
If you undertake the full-time delivery, you'll be required to study four modules concurrently (a minimum of approximately 45 hours). The 10 hours of teaching and learning per module will be delivered using a range of interactive resources, this typically will include audio and video content, group discussions, reflective exercises, quizzes, online reading and much more. All these resources are delivered through our Virtual Learning Environment and MS Teams and can be accessed at a time and place that suits you.
