The online programme, with its interactive web-based seminars and recorded lectures, serves to replicate the traditional classroom experience: you will enjoy interactive features and real-time discussions with classmates no matter, quite literally, where in the world they might be. Importantly, teaching methods are used in the online courses that have been specifically developed to support students in their non-campus studies.
