The course leaders are seasoned academics and the modules are presented by a group of highlyqualified and dedicated academics assisted by guest lecturers from academia and practice. Generallythe coursework programmes consist of three taught semester modules and a minor dissertation. Toaccommodate students who work, lectures in each taught module are presented once a week afterhours. Student numbers per module are capped to ensure that classes are small enough to allow forinteractive teaching.

The main condition is that the tuition fees must not havebeen paid by third parties, for example an employer.
