The course is largely delivered online, in conjunction with short intensive learning periods on campus, which give you the opportunity to network and meet your classmates. An experienced online team has built a course packed with engaging multimedia content and opportunities to collaborate with other students. With part-time and full-time options, the programme is highly flexible so that you can live at home and study in the evenings and weekends, or alongside your job. Here is an example of the format that the distance learning may take. Course structure With two entry points per year the course can be studied full-time over one year or part-time over two years. Eight modules will be studied, as well as a final project for which you can choose an internship within business, an applied project related to a policy challenge or dissertation based on a topic of specific interest to you. There will be plenty of academic support during residentials and during distance learning, where you’ll discuss, challenge and create through group discussion and forums. All students on this course will be invited to participate in at least one additional enhancement week. This optional programme, not linked to a specific module, will include farm and site visits as well as invited speakers to help students consolidate and apply their learning. This will be particularly valuable for full time residential and international students.
