How the programme is delivered

Find out about how we deliver teaching and how you can work flexibly around existing work and family commitments. Read how group work enables you to work collaboratively with other students, and what computer or device you need to take part.

Teaching

You will learn from experts in critical care via recorded lectures and live video tutorials, and you will collaborate with academic staff and fellow students using online discussion boards.

Collaborative learning

Although entirely based off campus, students will benefit from collaborative peer learning. We will use a variety of interactive tools, including the virtual classroom, to create a community of learning.

Flexible study hours

Study online at times that suit you using our e-learning software and extensive digital resources.

Technical requirements

Studying online requires that you have a broadband connection and an up-to-date computer that can stream video.
