Postgraduate

Short Course Scheme (Occasional Student Scheme)

As well as MSc, Postgraduate Diploma, and Postgraduate Certificate registration with the University of London, it is also possible to register for short courses of the University of London to undertake one or more individual modules for professional update purposes. Short Course students receive the full package of study materials and access to the On-line Learning Environment. On satisfactory completion of the module(s) (including examination) they receive a certificate.

The Short Course Scheme caters for three categories of students:

Category I

those wishing to take an individual module or modules on a one-off basis for reasons of professional updating and/or special interest. They may select any of the modules available.

Category II

those wishing to sample the course before deciding whether to apply for MSc or Postgraduate Diploma registration. These students are advised to choose from the list of core modules.

Category III

those required to take one module initially in order to qualify for consideration for entry to the Postgraduate Diploma. These students must select from the list of core modules.

The Short Course Scheme aims to provide access to postgraduate level courses to as wide a group of students as possible.

Entry to the scheme is at the discretion of the Distance Learning Programme. Each application is assessed on merit. The Short Course Scheme application form is at the back of this guide.

Short Course students who are subsequently registered for either the MSc or Postgraduate Diploma will be credited with any courses completed successfully as Short Course students. Short course fees in 2009 are £925 per module.
