Modules & Programmes (Reflex)
Each module is delivered by a combination of distance learning material and a one-week intensive school. Pre-school distance learning material is usually made available 6 weeks prior to the intensive school. The intensive school consolidates the information learnt in pre-school study, and on most modules, students will be examined on this material at the end of the week. A post-school assignment is set on some modules, to be completed within one month from the end of the intensive week. Assessment criteria for each module is stated on the module outline forms below and in the Handbook. All modules are 10 credits.
