How is it delivered? You will be assigned a personal tutor, an experienced academic with a strong background in performance. The tutor can draw on a broad base of expertise, both within the existing University staff and through other contacts internationally.
Although study can be completed independently, you will be encouraged to engage in electronic communications with members of the supervisory team and interact and learn in face-to-face and small group settings.
These are organised at UCLan’s Preston campus, but also elsewhere in the UK (and even internationally based on geographic clusters). Tutors also travel to meet with participants, particularly in the early stages of the different modules.
