Module Learning Strategies
The learning strategy for the module requires students to commit 150 learning hours, of this there will be 38 hours of class support and 112 hours of independent and self directed study.

Lectures/ lab work/ Presentations /Tutorial
Student managed learning/ directed learning

Apart from the lecture each week, various other methods as mentioned above will be used as learning strategies.
There will be laboratory and tutorial sessions, students will be required to discuss and present various topics of the module in the class. Students will be required to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts.
Students are expected to be able to structure their own work and to work relatively independently under the guidance of the module teaching staff.
