Students who complete a module are awarded the credits for that module. All our practice-based modules may be undertaken assessed (under the auspices of University of Leeds) or non-assessed. Students electing to study modules without assessment receive a certificate of attendance. Learning and teaching formats Modules are either by distance learning or face-to face teaching. Distance learning modules Distance learning modules run for 18 weeks. Students are supplied with a study manual and selected readings.

Please note: all students completing the Research Methods module [LAUT 2015] will be required to attend the Leeds Addiction Unit to give a presentation. Face to face taught modules These modules run over 12-15 weeks. They involve lectures/small group seminars, video-recorded supervised practice and private study time.
