4. We have a home campus but this is self managed learning so a lot
happens at a distance. Everyone will have an academic adviser to help.
A liberal estimate of the time it will take during the 12 week study periods
is approximately 6 hours per week (or more). Schedule this into your own
diary as study time so that the work can fit around your other jobs.
We work with social media, digital media and paper copies.
Deadlines for drafts and final work are important.

10. The Readers are there to
support your learning and
to challenge you. They are
not there as just ‘content’
to learn… but are there to
get you thinking about
your professional practice.
This is a Level 6 Honours
level programme so the
expectations are that
your work will be of high
standard and your
learning will be selfmanaged. Dedicated
support is available from
your adviser, the BAPP
(Arts) team, and the
university staff.
