Dear students,
Thank you for your patience as academic and timetabling teams work through the practical and theory intensives due to be delivered upon College re-opening on 4th May, 2020 (*based on confirmation of directive to re-open pending COVID-19 health advice at that time). Please note the following:
- Practicals – there will be 2 intensive delivery blocks to accommodate all practical classes in all possible enrolment combinations and available campus space:
· Practical blocks are to be taken consecutively (Block 1 then Block 2)
· Total number of hours to be covered are indicated in brackets after the subject code below and exclude any theory parts of the sessions that are currently delivered online
- HMCL211, HMCL222 and HMCL312 subjects may be converted to fully online delivery for the rest of the semester - academic teams are working through this and will be in touch by tomorrow on respective Loop/Noticeboards
- Practical Intensive block 1 – 5 weeks delivery plus 1 week of practical exams
i. subjects that will be included in this block: MSTA121 (20 hours), MSTE311 (20 hours), MSTM311 (20 hours), MSTR211 (20 hours), MSTT211 (20 hours), MSTT212 (20 hours), MSTT317 (40 hours), CMAC111 (25 hours), CMAC213 (60 hours), CMAC221 (30 hours), CMTN211 (30 hours), CMTN311 (30 hours), CMAC222 (6 hours – one workshop only; compulsory attendance), CMAC223 (6 hours – one workshop only; compulsory attendance), CMAC311 (6 hours – one workshop only; compulsory attendance), CMAC321 (6 hours – one workshop only; compulsory attendance), CMAC411 (6 hours – one workshop only; compulsory attendance), CMCS211 (30 hours)

- Clinics – there will be one
5-week intensive clinic block that will include all assessment submissions
(as per my previous communications we are working towards updating these
assessments so no extra submissions points after the completion of the
5-week intensive is needed). Please note some exceptions to the general
5-week intensive block:
- CMCS321 is an 8CP clinic (green in below table) – we are currently working on a solution on how to adapt this to the intensive model
- Last 2 clinic subjects for NUT, NAT and ACU degrees (blue in below table) require up to 33 hours per week clinic hours to complete the subject. The academic team will be in touch with these students that are also eligible to graduate in mid-2020 to talk through different enrolment possibilities and requirements.
The timetable team are currently working on this model across all days and times available in a week and this will be released as soon as it is finalised. At that time you will be able to determine the next best steps to support your personal circumstances and commitment to studies at this challenging and unprecedented time.
- NOTE: if based on
personal circumstances at this time you are unable to complete the proposed intensive and practical schedule makeup, please contact special circumstances with a summary of your circumstances and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to support you across this time. You are able to submit the special circumstances form via the student portal. There is no requirement to submit documentation at this time.
