What?

In recognition of the growing demand for distance learning, it is with pleasure that the Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP) offer five distance learning programmes. These programmes comprise a series of specially designed distance learning modules which correspond to the equivalent on-campus modules in the full-time degree programmes.

These distance-learning modules will provide a structured programme of study and learning.

How?

Assessment Procedures

This programme is flexible, but rigorous, with a point-accumulation system based mainly around examinations and assessed research papers - self study and research are therefore key components. Arrangements will be made for students to sit examinations at a British Council (or other academic) centre in their country of residence.

Delivery of Material

Modules will be delivered by a combination of on-site seminars (Induction programme), self-study guides and on-line support. Students will have access to reading materials, discussion groups and other supporting documents via a web-based Virtual Learning Environment. Students will have access to academic support via email and telephone.
