"assessmentMethods": "The primary way of delivering this course is on campus. \n\nOn campus teaching includes a combination of lectures, small group seminars, workshops, guest lectures and one to one discussion with your tutor. Students will be assessed in several ways throughout the degree programme, including written assignments, presentations, exams, practical deliveries, and case studies/practical consultations. \n \nContact time for students is over 1 day per week for the full-time route. This allows students to obtain work experience in the sector throughout the other days as well as conduct independent learning and assessment work. This also allows students to manage work and family commitments they may have during the course. \n\n Students will receive approximately 8 hours of teaching time per week throughout the full-time course, depending on the modules being taken. Additional one-to-one meetings with tutors will provide further support. Students have the option to contact an additional support team to develop key study skills such as referencing and academic writing style. We have found this to be a very useful aspect of the course, especially for anyone who has had a break in education and is returning to studies, however the service is available for all students who attend the course.",
