Delivery Associate students
The delivery of modules and tailored
short courses may vary (face-to-face
teaching, block attendance or online
learning). Some courses are also
described as ‘blended’ featuring
face-to-face sessions at the beginning of
the course, followed by paper or
web-based learning materials. If you opt to study for a single module
or decide to complete a named short
course, you will be matriculated as an
associate postgraduate student. As an
associate student you will have the same
access to all of QMU’s student learning
and information technology services as
all other students, as well as support
from the course co-ordinators and
lecturers. This means that for nurses
and allied health professionals, for
example, you are able to meet your
professional requirements for maintaining
your competence as a registered
practitioner whilst studying.

If you complete a CPD course and then
decide that you would like to continue
towards a postgraduate qualification,
the credit you have gained as an
associate student may count towards
a named qualification. This will depend
on the CPD course you have undertaken
and the nature of the award you wish
to pursue.
