Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
Clinical Hours Requirements: The requirement for year three is that students must complete their thirty hours of direct clinical work with clients in the Live Supervision module.
These thirty hours are built up over years two and three.
Each live clinical session can be counted as 1.5 hours of the 30 live clinical hours. This takes in account pre and post session supervised discussion.
