Approximately 80% of theory and assessment is face to face, and the remaining 20% via online / collaborate using our online learning management system Blackboard.

Collaborate sessions, are a live class run online, via Blackboard, our online learning management system. Collaborate sessions require access to a computer and Wi-Fi; and a set of headphones is recommended. If you do not have your own device or Wi-Fi, you can access the computers in the library on your campus, local libraries and of course Wi-Fi anywhere on campus.
