 Although the course is online, there’s plenty of information on how to use the tools and techniques you’re taught in the workplace, so there’s a practical benefit from what you learn.   

 

Your virtual classroom

Everything you need to complete your studies can be accessed on Canvas, our easy-to-use virtual learning environment (VLE).

From reading academic feedback to engaging with fellow students, you can turn to Canvas whenever you have some free time for your course. Access it via your browser or through the Canvas Student mobile app for a convenient way to learn while on the move.

 Whilst the tutor and course leader are both excellent, I really like the feedback every week from the other students on the work I produce, and my opportunity to give them feedback too. That means I get to read what they are writing – inspiring stuff!   

 

Planning for your course

We know that many of our students are managing a number of personal and professional commitments while studying with us.

While it can be a challenge to adapt to the added demands of a postgraduate programme, planning out times to study can help ensure you find your course enjoyable and rewarding.

Below is a recreation of a weekly schedule shared with us by a student. It might give you some ideas about when you can dedicate time to your own course.
