4. We have a home campus but this is self managed learning so a lot
happens at a distance. Everyone will have an academic adviser to help.
An estimate of the time it will take during the 12 week semesters is
approximately 6 hours per week. Schedule this into your own diary.
We work with social media, digital media and paper copies.
Deadlines for drafts and final work are important.

8. Some administrative points for BAPP (Arts)
1. Keep in contact and update your advisers and Avni Shah the
WBL administrator with your correct contact details.
2. Students cards should be processed for this module so that you
will have them when you need them.
3. We need to choose one new student representatives for BAPP
(Arts) this year. Liam Conman is our current volunteer. Please work
with him and other peers to help us improve the programme.
4. BAPP (Arts) feedback forms are at the end of the Modules you
take. The form will most likely be on Survey Monkey. We value
feedback and have used your feedback in our planning of the new
curriculum for BAPP (Arts).

10. The Readers are there to
support your learning and
to challenge you. They are
not there as just ‘content’
to learn… but are there to
get you thinking about
your professional practice.
This is a Level 6 Honours
level programme so the
expectations are that
your work will be of high
standard and your
learning will be self-
managed. Dedicated
support is available from
your adviser, the BAPP
(Arts) team, and the
university staff.
