Course components and options

Posted on 09 21 2011 by Owner  |  Filed under templates, internet with Comments 7

See what kind of course combinations are on offer. ‘Joint honors’ courses combine different subject areas: for example, you could study English with History.

Many courses are 'modular'. This means they are made up of different subject blocks which deal with particular areas of interest. Modules may be delivered using a range of lectures, seminars and/or workshops. You may have some say over some or all of the modules you study, or you may not. Either way, it's important to look at the components that will make up your course. Some courses include placements, ‘sandwich’ years or even years abroad studying or gaining work experience. Foundation Degrees, for example, include work-based learning. These options may be of interest to you personally, or to future employers. If so, seek out courses that offer these opportunities.
