Attending sessions in person is encouraged where possible. There are additional study skills sessions arranged in September/October to help prepare students for the course. <br/><br/>The course is accredited by the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS), and in combination with The Association of Neurophysiological Scientists (ANS) professional exams, is a route to registration. (Any professional exams would be arranged by and undertaken in your local department, not through Aston University). <br/><br/><strong>How you will learn</strong><br/>All teaching and learning materials are hosted on Blackboard – a virtual teaching environment - as you will be taught via a blended learning approach combining individual and directed learning with scheduled seminars and workshops to complement your learning.<br/><br/>You will be provided with a clear plan per study module with assessments aligned to the module learning outcomes.

Your scheduled time on campus provides you with the opportunity to discuss learning, participate in group activities, and meet with your project supervisor.<br/><br/>Although this will depend upon the individual, a typical student can expect to spend around 10 hours per credit of study. <br/><br/>Modules are primarily assessed via coursework, so you can benchmark your abilities early on and develop your skills in managing your learning.
