Distance learning learning conceptHigh application relevance | Innovative distance learning | Personal and competent support for students
The learning concept of the BSc (Top-Up) Applied Psychology is characterized by its high practical relevance and innovative teaching and learning methods. The design as a pure distance learning means optimal coordination with the needs of our students.
The combination of guided self-study, individual student support and e-learning units offers students the opportunity to learn anywhere and at any time, based on their own professional requirements and needs.
The use of modern e-learning components guarantees the students interactive learning, the clear presentation and discussion of abstract content. Interactive online seminars and discussions in virtual space encourage the integration of theoretical principles and methods into professional practice. The use of a virtual tutorial in the form of an online learning platform enables flexible and network-like knowledge transfer, which can be optimally varied and adapted according to individual learning needs and progress.
The provision of canned items of all interactive live offers such as online seminars or online lectures as well as all learning material in electronic form makes it easier for students to manage knowledge and asynchronous learning in a learning group with different professional framework conditions and freedom. In addition, this means simpler documentation and repetition of the teaching content that is independent of time and location.An overview of the learning conceptGuided self-study
In contrast to face-to-face or self-study (also: individual study), the learning content is specified in guided self-study. As with individual studies, the teachers are not present and the time and place of the study can be freely chosen. The guided self-study, however, offers you a predetermined thematic and time frame and specific tasks that are carried out in a self-determined learning process, but must be mastered in certain periods of time and in certain learning and working forms. In addition, teachers and tutors are available to you as contact persons and to support the structuring of the guided self-study. The teachers and tutors enable you in various ways to structure learning material independently, to collect suitable information and to use it for the respective requirements of the course.
The BSc (Top-Up) in Applied Psychology from the London Metropolitan University and AIHE GmbH offers you a content-based and structured framework for a self-determined learning process in guided self-study. In order to achieve this, comprehensive teaching material and literature as well as learning scripts are made available in the “Virtual Tutorial” on a learning platform (more detailed description under “Virtual Tutorial”). In addition, thematic and methodological support is provided by tutors who can be used regardless of time and location using common communication media.
Virtual tutorial
The BSc (Top-Up) in Applied Psychology of the London Metropolitan University and the AIHE uses the learning platform "Moodle" both to supervise the students and to structure their studies and to convey learning content, material and other study-related information. If you have any questions about the content of each module, specialist forums are available, which teachers and tutors will answer within 48 hours on weekdays. Furthermore, forums can be used for exchange and organizational issues can be discussed.
All study-relevant dates and deadlines are communicated via the virtual tutorial. The students are informed about each new entry directly via email notification. All teaching material such as learning scripts, literature as well as web links and other study-related information such as the timeline for course planning, tasks, work instructions and literature recommendations are made available digitally via the virtual tutorial. The virtual tutorial also includes individual support on technical and organizational issues from teachers and tutors via email.
Individual telephone & video advice
The BSc (Top-Up) in Applied Psychology of the London Metropolitan University and the AIHE offers you the possibility of individual telephone or video counseling to clarify and advise on technical and organizational study-related matters.
