How Is It Taught

Study Method – On Campus On campus, you benefit from regular classes with a college tutor – without having to commit to attending multiple evenings each week. Your tutor will be on hand to provide guidance on progress and assessment. Regular discussion with classmates will help to reinforce key points while also providing the additional support and motivation that comes from being part of a group.
