Covid-19 has challenged the delivery of all educational and professional programmes.   The University of Sunderland have established emergency professional standards which have helped us to develop an effective approach to your programme of study. This will include a blend of face-to-face and online teaching.

Our experience has shown that this method opens new learning opportunities for all, enabling you to develop graduate skills such as time management, self-care and workload prioritisation, with support from the academic team and the wider University services available to you.

Theoretical lectures and pre-session reading will be delivered and made available via Microsoft Teams.

In the meantime, please contact the Programme Leader if we can offer any further guidance.
