Knowledge is Power
COURSE PROGRAMME
“ ”
This 16 week course is delivered totally online and has intakes three times a year. It is available in any time zone and on demand whenever it is convenient
for you to study. After completing the core module, a range of elective modules are available which allow participants to study the facets most relevant to
their own interests. Participants choose three of these modules to qualify for the Certificate, although they can also be studied individually.
The modules are delivered as interactive e-learning lessons and have associated online discussion forums, plus end of module self-assessment tests. A
module is released every four weeks with participants required to pass a multiple choice online exam and a written assignment. The learning
management system monitors your progress and ensures you re-enter lessons at the point you left them.
Although designed as a 16-week programme, the need for flexibility in some individuals’ study programmes due to varying work commitments is
recognised. Participants are able to request to defer to the next intake, and for up to a maximum of one year, without any additional fees.
Successful participants are awarded a certificate of study by the prestigious University of St Andrews, with the course accredited at level seven of the
Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework.
Participants can study additional elective modules in order to again accreditation in more areas.
