Students may enrol at any time during the year. The date of enrolment determines the academic cycle that will be followed. (For further information see section 18: Enrolment for the BEdHons programme.)

The modules for each programme are grouped into blocks. Students do not have access to all the learning material for the programme at the start of their studies. The learning material is accessible in blocks and so a student gains access to new learning material for subsequent blocks after each examination session. The University gives access to learning material in blocks to help students organise their learning: it is better to focus on fewer modules per examination, rather than taking more modules at a time and increasing the possibility of failure.

Although a student has five years in which to complete the BEdHons programme, it is much better to work hard and finish one’s studies in the shortest period of time.
