Entry modules required self-directed online learning with tutor support. This enables students to study the entry content at their own pace in time for an entry point to the BSc programme. Students have up to 12 months to complete the modules. Depending on progress and any extenuating circumstance students can apply to join a second year of study to complete the modules at an additional cost to retain student status and continued access to resources.
