Self-taught Courses
Self-taught courses are provided to meet the needs of people who:
- cannot attend (or wait for) formal taught courses
- would like to work at their own pace
- would like to supplement instructor led training
- would like to, in some cases, review more topics or advanced topics that are not offered by instructor led courses
A listing and details of the available self-taught courses can be found in the courses by theme list or on the timetable.
Self-taught Loan
The UIS Self-Taught loan library is available at.
- Roger Needham Building Reception, please see opening hours.
- To apply for a self-taught course please complete this online form.
The materials take various forms:
- tutorials on CD
- video
- work book and work pack (work book and files).
Note that some require access to a computer with a particular version of software installed and with specific hardware (e.g. sound card etc.), although some can be used on University Information Services facilities, not all can; in particular any courseware that requiring installation on a computer cannot be used on the MCS.
A deposit of £20 is required for loaned self-taught courses, refundable when returned on time and in good condition. Non-members of the University qualify for a charge in addition to the deposit.
Self-taught Online Courses
Our portfolio of online courses is expanding. A list can be found in courses by theme or on the timetable.
