All students have the opportunity to the Bridging programme in 6 months.
- Teaching is all online and the programme offers significant flexibility to work at any time that suits you.
- To have a realistic chance of success over 6 months, a consistent 40 hours of study each week is necessary.
- We call this a “full workload”.
- This workload is consistent with other distance and contact institutions’ workloads.
- If you can’t commit to a full workload, you have the option to complete the programme over 1 year on a half workload.
- Required hours can include time on weekends and outside office hours. If you hold a job and can make space for a full workload, you can choose to do the programme in 6 months.
