LFA teaching update

We are committed to on-campus face-to-face teaching.

Students taking an LFA module for credit do not need to register, whereas non-credit students need to register via our registration page.

In 2023-23, the following principles apply to all our courses:

• Places will be assigned on a first come, first served basis (non-credit students only)
• The learning aims and objectives of our courses are unchanged, as are the breadth and depth of content.
• The workload remains in accordance with academic requirements (20 credits = 200 hours of learning).
• Interaction with peers and tutors remains at the heart of our course design and delivery.
• You need to have access to a laptop or desktop and internet connection (please check the minimum specifications)

Assessment (LFA year-long courses only)

Students’ performance will be monitored through formative work throughout the year and assessed via an end of year exam. 

Modules taught in-presence will be assessed in-presence in term 3, whereas modules taught online will be assessed online in term 3.

However, please be aware that different conditions might apply to credit students studying online.
