The University calendar is structured into three terms but just two semesters. For Brewing Science students it is easiest to think in terms of Semesters. We recommend that you study at the rate of 20 Credits per Semester. Based upon this rate of progression through any of our postgraduate programmes, you would expect to spend 1 week per Semester at the University of Nottingham, on one of our Intensive Residential Courses. These take place at the end of the semester concerned – i.e. in January for Semester 1 modules and in May-June for Semester 2 modules. For the remainder of the Semester, you study by distance learning – primarily e-learning.

The University of Nottingham is committed to promoting access for students who have a disability, dyslexia and/or a long-term medical condition. Services provided aim to enable students to fulfil the inherent requirements of the course as independently as possible.

If adjustments need to be made to certain aspects of this module to ensure your participation on an equal basis with other students, please contact the module convener (Dr David Cook) as soon as possible. Any disclosure you make will be treated confidentially.
