Industry visitors, members of the Advisory Board and our Visiting Professors support face-to-face teaching, and you also join in with remote presentations from publishers in a variety of markets and sectors. A standard module consists of 20 timetabled hours comprising a variable proportion of lectures, seminars, and supervised project work; each is designed in the expectation of considerable personal study hours. The course is assessed largely through coursework, with two examinations, both of which account for 50% or less of their module. The range of coursework includes assessment for industry-related projects as well as analytical essays, and allows a proportion of credit for personal and group projects we well as presentations.
