Postgraduate Distance Learning Programmes
Spring 2025 - Postgraduate Study Schools
Introductory study schools for new PG distance students starting Spring 2025 will be online (not residential) for the week:
Monday 31st March 2025 to Thursday 3rd April 2025
Monday will run 14:00 to 17:00.
The school will run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 09:00 to 17:00. Information, including timetables, will be emailed to students prior to the school.
Attendance at the introductory school is compulsory.
For this school, sessions will be 'live' online via TEAMs and you will also have access to your first module and to course information via the Department's Blackboard area.
Although the school is online, we recommend students clear their calendar to attend the school. This is because, between live sessions, students have the opportunity to ‘get started’ on their first module and studies with support from staff.
If you have any queries please contact the Coordinator Marianne Taylor at mmt@aber.ac.uk or the Department dis-dept@aber.ac.uk
