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

The tutor led and peer-to-peer learning 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, these will include the analysis, discussion and presentation of case- based work both individually and as part of a learning group and will receive formative feedback. Students will be expected to obtain supplementary information from a number of paper or electronic sources as part of their preparation, as recommended by the tutor.

All learning will develop and enhance students digital competences.
