APEcs Face-to-Face Modules
In addition to Distance Learning and Modular Masters programmes, we offer a range of individual face-to face modules. All of these modules are available to study on an ad hoc basis for CPD credits, ideal for students with specific interests or for those that don't want to commit to the full MSc.
Our advanced computing modules are taught one day a week over five weeks, enabling students to fit study around work commitments. Modules are typically delivered in one of 4 periods that span the academic year. The periods for the 2012/2013 academic year are as follows:
- Period 1 commencing: 24/09/2012
- Period 2 commencing: 05/11/2012
- Period 3 commencing: 28/01/2013
- Period 4 commencing: 11/03/2013
The following modules are available at a cost of £1124 per module. Please see the linked module descriptions for an indication of the period in which each module runs.
