You can complete most online learning flexibly - so even if you are unable to join us on campus, you will still be able to engage in your learning.
On-campus learning prioritises components of your course that can’t be delivered online, enabling access to specialist facilities and resources that are a key part of your course.
Here are the key differences in course delivery from previous years:
Our aim is for practice placements to continue as planned. However, due to the current changes in the practice environment, this may be subject to change. Any change will be clearly communicated in a timely manner.
Your on-campus learning will prioritise aspects of your course that we are less able to deliver online – for example, where you need access to specific equipment or resources.
Our part-time MBA course that incorporates our SLMA apprenticeship will be delivered online with selected sessions being delivered on campus.
Your course has a range of assessment opportunities - these are likely to include essays, exams, group and individual presentations, problem solving and a research project or dissertation. Assessments will typically be submitted or undertaken online.
Where learning would normally include interaction with external stakeholders off campus, we will seek to undertake this if and when it becomes possible. Otherwise we will use alternative methods as appropriate, for example through online contact.
Opportunities to develop your professional skills and meet recruiters through our Expo Series, Animex Festival and Student Futures activities may take place online.
