English for Specific Purposes
All course are based on the Oxford English for Specific Purposes texts. The text is required, and the course can not be done without it. Each course can take around 30 hours for a student studying full time, however Distance Learning takes account of the needs of students to balance a busy life with study, so each course is normally expected to be completed within 3 weeks. That allows a minimum of 10 hours a week study per module.
