Public Programmes provision for 2009/10
Certificates of Higher Education
Following the decision of the University Council with regards to the future of the public programmes in the School of Continuing Education, we will offer a limited provision of modules in 2009/10 and 2010/11 so that students enrolled on the Certificates of Higher Education in History, History of Art and Architecture, English Literature, Archaeology and Combined Studies, and who have accumulated 40 credits or more of core modules, will be able to complete their Certificates of Higher Education.
Core Certificate of Higher Education modules in 2009/10 will be running at Reading (therefore students currently attending Certificates of Higher Education at Newbury College will have to complete their studies at Reading).
For further information see our list of core modules available in 2009/10.
This should enable the majority of students, currently enrolling on a Certificate of Higher Education to complete their 80 credits core component by the end of 2009/10 (Please note: core modules will not be running in 2010/11).
In order to complete the option component of their Certificates of Higher Education, students will be able to select from a small range of option modules available during 2009/10 and 2010/11.
Certificates of Higher Education in Continuing Education
If you wish to complete a Certificate of Higher Education in Continuing Education (the qualification awarded to students who have gained 120 Open Studies credits) or undertake single Open Studies courses - you will be able to enrol on the option modules running in 2009/10 and 2010/11.
For further information see our list of option modules available in 2009/10.
When to enrol
Students currently enrolled on a Certificate of Higher Education in a named subject will be given priority and will be able to enrol from Monday 3 August 2009. All other students will be able to enrol from Tuesday 1 September 2009, priority will be given to Certificate of Higher Education in Continuing Education students who have completed 90 credits or more. Priority booking for Certificate of Higher Education in Continuing Education students with 90 credits or more will end on Friday 14 September 2009. After such time students will be enrolled on a first-come first-served basis.
If necessary, we will be capping numbers to ensure the quality of our provision. In the case of modules becoming oversubscribed, where possible, we will run modules twice, subject to tutor availability.
