This programme adopts a blended learning and teaching style, including online delivery and engagement where appropriate. We'll expect you to attend six study days and engage in blended learning using resources provided on the University's virtual learning environment, Moodle2.

Formal lectures will be delivered by the programme team and specialists in palliative and end-of-life care. We'll encourage you to participate in group work, debate the differing ideas, concepts and theories and reflect on their application to practice. In addition, we'll offer scheduled tutorial support where you can meet with the module tutor to discuss aspects of your studies and receive personalised feedback and guidance. E-learning via Moodle2 allows you to undertake further study at a place and time convenient to you.

Assessment is through a 20-minute presentation and a 20-minute viva.
