The two-year, part-time programme commences on September 12, 2022 and involves taking six modules (60 credits) and a masters dissertation (30 credits). If all modules are passed and a 2.1 honours standard is achieved, the student may proceed to the dissertation component. Otherwise, the candidate completes with a Graduate Diploma.

In each year the student takes three ASE modules, which are delivered solely online.

Online delivery: The details will vary from module to module, but online delivery will usually be structured as follows:
* The material is offered online as a number of packages.
* Each package comprises lecture slides, study material, a video of the lecturer presenting an overview of the material and assignment work.
* A Teaching Assistant will be available throughout the module to answer questions regarding assignment work either on a group chat or email
* Regular online Q&A sessions are provided.

The dissertation period commences the second year and the dissertation is usually submitted in May, with an option to extend the deadline to the following December.

Each module typically comprises 24 hours lectures, as well as assignment/project/essay work to be undertaken in the student‘s own time.
