More Information
Delivery
The Manufacturing Technology degree is modularised. Successful completion of the degree requires the accummulation of 60 credits by completion of 11 modules, including a work-based project. Each module is 12 weeks in duration, one evening per week. There are a range of modules offered in semester 1 (September to December) and in semester 2 (January to May) each academic year. On average, students would complete 2 modules per semester, but it is entirely at the discretion of each student how many modules they wish to register for each semester.Most modules are classroom based and take place on the TUS Campus. Minimum of 70% attendance for each module is required to pass, in addition to passing the exam element. Please note that the Exams for this course are usually scheduled to take place during daytime hours (i.e. between the hours of 9am and 6pm).
What will the time commitment be?
Each 5 credits will normally equate to approximately 100 Total Learning Hours. Total Learning Hours includes the time you spend in class (lectures, tutorials, practical elements) and the time you spend completing work outside of college. The balance between these two varies by discipline, and by level of study. You should bear in mind that the workload will increase at particular times e.g. when assignments are due.
Assessment
Modules are assessed using a mixture of continuous assessment and examinations.
