Teaching methods
Studying online gives you the freedom to complete your qualification when and where it suits you – at home, during your lunch hour or in a café.
Our online professional courses are delivered through a virtual learning environment (VLE) instead of a traditional campus. This means you’ll have access to your study materials 24/7, including:
- multimedia lecturecasts made up of written content, short videos, animation, audio recordings, infographics, short tests and mini-assignments
- discussion forums for you to chat about the module content with fellow students
- live Q&A sessions with your tutors
- a comprehensive eLibrary of textbooks and academic journals
- support from academic staff and your dedicated Student Support team
To ensure you receive high-quality tutor support, each class is capped at 20 students.
Assessment methods
You’ll be assessed exclusively through assignments. These include assessed discussion forums, written assignments and journal entries.
We’re committed to providing frequent and transparent feedback in the following ways:
- our assessment criteria are designed to be simple and transparent
- you’ll always be aware of your current provisional grade, right from the start
- you’ll be able to clearly view your marks in your gradebook whenever you log on to the learning platform
- there’s a seven-day turnaround for marking and feedback of assessed work
- you’ll have regular contact with your Student Support team, with whom you can discuss any concerns as soon as they arise
Study duration
Our International Business Law online professional course has a study duration of 13 weeks, including a one-week induction to help you settle into online study.
