The learning strategy for full-time/part-time on-campus and other delivery modes requires students to commit to 150 learning hours (including assessments). Of this, there will be 36 hours of class/workshop support and 114 hours of independent and self-directed learning for students working alone or as part of a learning group.

The tutor led sessions will tend to follow a general pattern of introduction of a topic and provision of frameworks and models for student learning, followed by application by students to appropriate data or case study materials. Students will be expected to perform set exercises/case study, etc., these will include the analysis, discussion and presentation of case-based work both individually and as part of a learning group. Formative assessment will be provided throughout the module. Digital tools will be used to enhance learning.
Students will be expected to obtain supplementary information from a number of sources as part of their preparation, as recommended by the tutor.
