Recognition for completion of these modules is in the form of a transcript of results.  The CPD modules allow for flexibility in learning such that you can take one or more modules up to a maximum of 15 credits in any academic year.  Students can only take 20 credits worth of individual CPD modules in total.  If you wish to continue studying having taken 20 credits you will have to apply for the full programme.  In some cases a student may apply for exemptions if they subsequently register for a full programme within a certain timeframe of completion of the CPD module.  This time varies between 3 and 5 years depending on the content of the module and the full programme. 

The following modules will not run for 2020/2021 but will be on offer again in 2021/2022:
