One lecture session will support two lab sessions. The lab sessions will cover a range of experiments to demonstrate and verify the theory covered in the lectures.

12 hours lectures (1:n)1
24 hours laboratory work (1:20)2

This module may be delivered full-time on a block delivery basis by West Cheshire College.
