Duration

2 Years Mode of Study Part Time Method of Delivery On-Campus, Online Schedule The delivery of TU413 Postgraduate Diploma in Building Performance (Energy Efficiency in Design) course suits those upskilling, re-skilling & returning to work. As the programme is ‘nested’, please visit the webpage for TU412 PG Cert BP(EED) for Stage 1 information. There are a range of ways in which the schedule and delivery have been structured to suit students who are fully employed professionals. The programme is designed so that most study takes place each week between Friday morning and Monday evening, at times the student chooses. Modules are taught one at a time. In the (5-ECTS) taught modules the only fixed dates are webinars on the first four Tuesdays at 8pm, an online exam at 8pm on the second and fourth Thursdays, the feedback workshop at the end of the fifth week and the project submission. Once a semester the feedback workshop will be held on campus. In the larger (15-ECTS) project module seminars are held on Fridays. In general these are online, though 2 or 3 will be held on campus to benefit student learning. Flexibility is provided via (a) the online resources; (b) videoed lectures that can be repeatedly watched (slowed down or sped up); (c) the recording of webinars to allow later watching; (d) the provision of repeat online exams within the same semester; and the Autumn supplemental exams and project submissions. A key aspect is that students may decide when they can view lecture materials. Students should plan for a weekly commitment of ~20 hours in most weeks of each module.
