Course options

Course summary

This programme, delivered in partnership with Al-Maktoum College of Higher Education, offers a valuable learning experience and opens employment opportunities and career development possibilities in public service, NGO/charitable and private sectors at national and international levels and in areas of ethics, law, sustainable development research, policy, management, consultancy and development. The specialist units in law and sustainability have been developed by subject specialists at Al-Maktoum College and complement the units on offer at Abertay University. Units are taught mainly at Al-Maktoum College with some teaching taking place at Abertay University; students will have full access to both campuses. The programme begins with a two-week foundation module to introduce students to important learning resources within Abertay University and Al-Maktoum College. It also starts the process of encouraging students to work in teams and to see their fellow students as an important learning resource over and above the resources available at the University and the College.

Assessment method

Each 20-credit unit compromises 200 hours of learning; this is made up of 40 hours of teaching and 160 hours of independent study. Classes are made up of lectures, seminars and tutorials and you will have 2 hours of contact teaching per week.
