Technical requirements

Technology
You will need access to a computer, the internet and a fully up to date web browser. IT support is available to any student in the event of technical difficulties.

Study collaboratively, not alone

Online learning is not an isolated way of studying. You will study alongside other students sharing experiences and ideas.
