How will I study my course?

  • Part Time
  • Distance learning
  • Online

As this module is offered via Distance Learning , it's up to you to decide when and how often you should study.  Ideally, you should designate a certain time slot each week for working on this module as this will help you to develop better time management (a useful skills to take into Higher Education).

The main benefit of studying via Distance Learning is that you can study anywhere you like.  However, you should plan your learning environment carefully as this can have an impact on your success.  Ideally, you will find somewhere that is quiet, comfortable and allows you access to information (such as a library or learning centre).

If you choose to study this module at home, try to set up an area specifically for this purpose (e.g. dining table or desk).  This will help focus your mind on the task in hand and also allows you to separate work and home life.
