Academic Partnership with the University of Leicester (UK)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The University of Leicester, a leading provider of distance learning, postgraduate study in the United Kingdom, has agreed to partner the NDC in facilitating a range of postgraduate studies for SC CMs at significantly discounted fees. There is also the opportunity, subject to meeting acceptance criteria, for PhD Study by separate arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Leicester\u2019s School of History, Politics and International Relations have assessed the NDC\u2019s current academic curriculum as exceeding requirements for their Master\u2019s module entitled \u201cStrategy in the Modern World\u201d, and through Accredited Prior Experience and Learning (APEL) principles, have offered a Master\u2019s module credit on completion of the SC. This offer is without additional CM effort, to thereafter engage in a varying level of additional postgraduate study. The SC credit is valid for 5 years. Study can commence in parallel to the SC, or sequentially. The closing date for applications for the semester that begins in September 2017 is 28 August 2017; payment is required by 1 September 2017, before study commences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method of Study<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distance learning modules start in March and September each year, coincident with the SC, and last approximately 3.5 months. In general, the workload for a module is to read a minimum of two academic articles each week over a 10-week period, covering different topics, and then to engage through online chat-rooms with other students and academic staff. A 1,300-word academic paper critique delivers 20% of the overall module mark, with the remaining 80% allocated to a 5,000 word essay on a subject selected from a list of titles advertised at the start of each module. A full Master\u2019s culminates with a 15,000 word dissertation. There is a window of 2 to 4 years to complete a full Master\u2019s programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
