Intensive Weekend Study Option
How to Study -> Intensive Weekend Courses
Studying via weekends allows you to have the security of knowing that you will go through the course syllabus in class with an experienced tutor while providing you with the flexibility of studying in depth in your own time via on-line distance learning. It gives you the best of both worlds!
Students combine the Intensive weekends with part-time evening studies if they know that they will not be able to attend all the evenings but still would like the option to come if they can. Otherwise students combine the weekends with on-line distance learning if they live too far to be able to attend classes every week or if they just cannot/ do not want to commit to weekly sessions.
Weekend learning is great at providing you with a holistic view of a subject, giving you the confidence to learn if you have been out of the learning environment for a while, introducing key concepts that you need to get to grips with and providing you with a learning community of other students - especially for those who are then studying via distance.
Each module is covered in a weekend (9 -5 on Saturday and Sunday) and then students receive extra distance learning support via our on-line Student Learning System together with a personal tutor for 10/11 weeks for each module or attend evening classes if they can. Each module is rounded off with a revision session for those taking the exam route.
Student Learning System
- Whether you are studying with us at weekends, evenings or via distance learning, we know that you will have an incredibly busy life and that you need to get access to all your learning and reading material quickly and easily and in one place.
- As a student of the Oxford College of Marketing, our online Student Learning System provides the gateway to your learning.
- You will use this system to access learning material - lecture slides, extra reading and notes, homework, model answers, timetables, rooming where appropriate and announcements - as well as keep in contact with your learning colleagues and tutors to share experiences and information.
- This system allows you to take control of your own learning while still receiving ongoing contact and support from the college.
