You will receive access to your Student Portal when you register. You can then access your University of London email account and two other key resources:

• The Coursera Platform. Here, you can access electronic copies of all study materials, resources (including audio-visual), and forums to discuss course material and work collaboratively with others.
• Access to academic support and feedback from London-based support teams. Tutors introduce the modules, respond to queries, monitor discussions, and provide guidance on assessments. Utilize interactive study materials including videos, quizzes and online games to gauge your personal progress. ‎

The programme will take you between 3 and 6 years to complete. If you’re working and intending to study the degree alongside, you can pay for modules as you go and study at your own pace. On average, a student studying part time will finish the degree in 4-5 years. ‎

You can choose how many modules to study in each session up to a maximum of two new modules (or three including resits/repeats). The time commitment will vary from student to student, but as a guide, you should allow 300 hours for each module (to be studied throughout a 22-week study session). ‎

The programme comprises 12 modules/courses. ‎

Students can take up to two new modules each study session. In addition to this, students can resit assessments and/ or repeat modules which they have not yet passed (subject to the rules set out in the programme regulations). ‎
