Diploma
for Graduates in Accounting
How
you study
Studying as an
External student offers you maximum flexibility in planning your
studies; you can study at a time and place to suit yourself using the introductory study materials provided by the University as the starting point.
These have been specifically commissioned and written by academics
of the University with the needs of independent learners in mind.
Although you may
study independently, you may wish to
network with other registered students to plan a mutually
supportive study programme. In a growing number of countries there
are institutions which offer a range of
full-time, part-time, correspondence or online tuition. A range of
other study opportunities, and support
such as weekend courses or summer schools may also be available.
When you first
register as an External student for the Diploma for Graduates in
Sociology, you will receive:
-
Studying for a Degree in the Humanities and Social Sciences
by P. Dunleavy (Macmillan)
-
a Student
handbook
-
subject guides for each unit
studied
-
past
examination papers and Examiners' reports
-
an IOLIS:
CD-ROM (for certain legal units)
-
a copy of
the Regulations
-
access to the
University of London Online Library with a
comprehensive selection of links to relevant materials.
Each year you
continue to register as an External student, you will receive an
updated Handbook; the relevant course pack for any additional
courses you begin studying; any sample/past examination papers and
reports not previously received.
A
note about textbooks: In addition to the materials provided, you will be advised to buy some books,
and others you will need to refer to in a library. As far as possible,
you should consider the facilities available locally to you, and
how accessible books are likely to be before registering as an
External student.
