Teaching/assessment

The MSc course is very flexible with attended or distance learning study available and a range of possible awards from a full MSc to a single module.

Full-time students attend for two days each week and receive formal lectures from experienced researchers and teaching staff, complemented by informal seminars and group discussions. Part-time students attend one day per week. All teaching material is fully documented and available on the web-based Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) before timetabled events take place.

Distance learning students follow a structured study plan provided on the web-based VLE, supported by discussion forums with other students and email and telephone conversations with the module leader. Our course has been commended in an academic quality review for its ?innovative and sophisticated forms of e-based learning and teaching’.

All assessment is by coursework. Each taught module has two items of coursework. The first is a smaller assignment on which prompt feedback is given while the module is being studied. A second, major assignment is due at a later date after the material has been assimilated.

Distance learning students can complete all eight taught modules from their home base. To complete the MSc, a single visit to Leicester is required for oral examination of the design project.
