Individual Study
Not part of an established discussion group, or wish to study one of our select courses individually at your own pace? Our Individual Study Program has been developed to provide this study mode for some of our popular Discussion Group courses. These courses include a course book and access to fully illustrated video presentations by the tutor, designed so individual students can work through the linked sessional material in their own time (each 30 minute video aligns with a unit in the book).
Please Note: these courses do not come with discussion questions or tutor contact, and are designed for individual study only.
