How you will learn
Teaching
We utilise innovative teaching and assessment techniques designed to get the best out of you, such as blended learning, group work, presentations, role play and online study tools, providing you with a valuable student experience.
You will learn online using a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). This allows you to study flexibly, so you can arrange your studies around your other commitments. It also requires a lot of discipline and you will need to dedicate enough time to self-study.
Class sizes
The typical student enrolment numbers are around 38.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you will need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework, presentations and exams. Our library and online resources will support your further reading and research. You can also join a range of student societies, including law and debating.
Overall workload
Your overall workload consists of contact hours (lectures, seminars, etc), placement attendance, independent learning, and assessments. For full-time students, the workload should be roughly equivalent to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of modules you are studying.
Assessment
Assessment methods will include essays, exam (law), case studies, presentations, observation reports, portfolios, and practice documentation. Assessment may be related to the work you have completed on placement.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
