Some of the modules are 20 credits each and are delivered throughout the academic year, but a few modules of 10 credits are delivered in one semester only.

Most modules are delivered using main theme lectures where underlying concepts and theories are developed and explained. These are supplemented by smaller group tutorials which provide the opportunity for discussion and application. Directed study is also important, and Glyndŵr University’s extensive learning support services, staff and personal subject tutors are always available to assist students.
