Accessibility
We make all our qualifications as accessible as possible and have a comprehensive range of services to support all our students. The Certificate of Higher Education in Health Sciences uses a variety of study materials and has the following elements:
studying a mixture of printed and online material – online learning resources may include websites, audio/video media clips, and interactive activities such as online quizzes
face-to-face tutorials and day schools and online tutorials
undertaking practical work or using an online laboratory
using mathematical and scientific expressions, notations and associated techniques
using and/or producing diagrams and/or screenshots
working with specialist reading material such as scientific journals.
continuous and end-of-module assessment in the form of essays, short answer questions, and in some cases an examination
using feedback: continuous assessment involves receiving detailed feedback on your work from your tutor and using this feedback to improve your performance
All qualifications require you to complete learning and assessment activities within a required timescale and according to pre-determined deadlines. You will therefore need to manage your time effectively during your studies and the University will help you to develop this skill. Information on assessment will be available to you at the start of each module.
