Program Study Plan

Courses run from eight weeks in length such that each 16-week semester consists of two shorter periods, termed A and B. Neuroscience in learning -course is an exception running in summer/ interim semester from six weeks in length. Eight weeks studying time allows students to be more focused on the specific content during each period, an approach underpinned by sound pedagogical principles. The approach allows sufficient time for preparation, reflection, analysis, assessment, and the achievement of course learning outcomes. Most courses have a weighting of two credit hours.
