In each year students study for a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) module which is spread over the year, in parallel with 2 or 3 modules in relevant core subjects which are taught sequentially; this means that participants will not be working on more than 2 modules at any time during their studies; the course consists of 2 CPD modules of 30 credits each and 5 modules of 20 credits each giving a total of 160 credits at university level 1.
