Module Learning Strategies
Delivery will comprise lectures (12 hours) and workshops (24 hours) utilising case studies and CAD.
Independent study and guided learning will support each session. You can expect to spend around 60 hours on CAD in preparation for, and between, the workshops. Self tuition through a Study Pack is expected to take approximately 12 hours and access to tutor and work-based guidance will take place. It is expected that in-house support will facilitate the learning environment and you could expect to spend about 24 hours on work-based learning. Additionally you can expect to utilise some web-based enquiry as part of your independent learning.
