Course Description
This Oxford Learning Quality Assured Level 3 Diploma Level Course in Abnormal Psychology is specifically designed for those interested in this field and wish to gain an increased knowledge and understanding of the subject area.
The course will take students from the introduction and background of mental health to more detail and in depth topic areas. Materials can be studied online or students have the option to print the documents once, there is also the option to have the materials delivered for an additional charge.
Previous Knowledge Required
No previous knowledge or experience is essential to study this course.
Support
This course offers full 12 months tutor support. Tutors are available to answer student questions relating to course materials and to comment on the assignments that are sent in to state how well students have understood the unit content.
Assessment
Final online multiple choice examination counts for 100% of the final grade. Throughout the course there are ten SAPs (coursework) and a thesis. The course clearly states that this is not mandatory to complete as it has no bearing on the final grade. We do suggest that students complete these as this will not only assist them in examination preparation but also will give the student the skill set should they wish to continue their studies (continuous professional development) at a higher level.
