Study patterns: Perioperative Practice (Top-Up) BSc (Hons) (online) - OLUBB

On this page, you will find the study patterns for our BSc (Hons) Perioperative Practice (top-up) online (OLUBB) programme.

Please use the links below to move directly to the relevant study pattern for the term you are enrolling onto.

• September start
• January start
• May start

These study patterns highlight the modules that you will need study over the next 12 months. Please note that all students are required to re-enrol at the start of every academic year in September and so within your enrolment you can only choose modules for the current academic year.  

The scheduled modules for the remainder of your programme (outlined below) are based on the current plan, however, the order of these may be subject to change. Should any changes be made, we will communicate this to you as soon as possible.   

As part of your studies, you will be required to join a one-day virtual conference - 6NU551 (termed on your virtual learning environment as ‘Developing Competence and Capability’). The conference is held in summer. There is no cost for the conference. You may be asked to review a small amount of pre-event material (journal articles, online reading or a short video). On the day, you will use Blackboard Collaborate Ultra to join the conference. More details will be provided once you are enrolled onto your programme.

Pace of your study
For students completing the programme at the standard rate of study, the required minimum number of study time is 20 hours per week. 

If you opt to undertake the accelerated study plan whereby you will study two modules in one trimester, we recommend 40 hours of study per week.

Should you decide to study on the accelerated rate you must ensure that you have the capacity to fully engage with your studies and achieve the best grades and final award. You will need to balance approximately 40 hours of study per week alongside your professional and personal life and commitments.

It may be useful to consider studying one module at the standard rate of study before deciding whether to then increase to the accelerated rate of study.

The accelerated study pattern is available for the September and January intakes, however it is not available for the May intake.
