COURSE STRUCTURE
The Master of Educational Neuroscience is comprised of seven units and as a flexible online course, these units are broken down into smaller modules that you can complete.

The first six units are designed to each require a time commitment of 150 hours, and your final unit, the Capstone Project, has a time commitment of 300 hours. In total, the seven units equate to a total of 1200 hours of study which is approximately 12 months of full-time study when compared to a typical university term structure of two terms of full-time study. However, you will have up to three years from enrolment to complete the course at your own pace.

ASSESSMENTS
You will have to complete assessments throughout this course, and these range from online quizzes, case studies and video projects. There are optional additional activities available for those who wish to explore topics further. The difference between traditional university course assessments and this hyperflexible course is that there are no deadlines or due dates - you set your own pace.
