This document provides information about self-managed learning modules, including that students can design an elective study project and assessment in agreement with their coach. An SML module is worth either 15 or 30 credits depending on the project's size and scope. The assessment for the SML module must be appropriate for a level 4 academic module and involve a written assignment of 1,800 words for 15 credits or 3,600 words for 30 credits. To elect an SML module, a student must submit an application by the deadline, meet with the program leader to discuss the proposal, and receive final approval or rejection of the project from the program leader.
