  Teaching and Assessment
  The modules will be delivered to meet the required learning outcomes through a combination of lectures, seminars, case study analysis and occasional emphasis on group work.
  Students will be encouraged to draw on their work experience. In addition, where appropriate, use is made of computer models/packages, simulations and presentations. Two residential weekends will be an integral part of the course.
  
  Your performance is assessed by assignments and formal examinations set, as applicable, on each of your course modules. These assessments should enable transferability, where possible, of the academic underpinning knowledge to the work environment. They are also the basis for your award and form part of the learning process in which you are involved.

  i) part-time afternoon and evening (same day), 2.00pm - 9.00pm;
