Flexible Online Learning with Optional Face-to-Face Support

• Utilise local campus facilities, such as the library, computers, and gym.
• Attend optional in-person workshops and support sessions for additional help.

To ensure a smooth online learning experience, you'll need:

• A laptop or desktop computer (smartphones and tablets aren't suitable for this programme).
• Reliable broadband internet access.
• A data plan that can handle online learning tasks like streaming videos, downloading materials, and submitting assessments.
