The formal taught component of this course comprises seven compulsory modules. Each module is two weeks in duration, consisting of one week of lectures, practical work, site visits and one week for private study (with the exception of one module that consists of two weeks of lectures followed by two weeks of private study). Part-time students attend the first week of each module but may continue with coursework assignments (private study) at a suitable time and location. This element constitutes 40% of the overall mark.
