General requirements

Anyone can join the course as long as they meet English language requirements. This means that the University are able to offer qualifications to a far wider range of students than on a traditional campus-based degree.

You need three key things:

First, you need to be passionate and self-motivated.

Second, you need to have access to a computer with a good internet connection. You need to be able to use that computer and have some basic IT skills including the ability to access websites, use email, and create a typed document.

Third, you need to be able to spend between 12-15 hours a week studying part time, or 24-30 hours a week for full time. It is important to remember that students work at different speeds and have different strengths so these figures are just a guide but making sure you have the time to commit to studying is key.
