Blended Learning 

We’ve embraced innovative educational technologies in a number of ways at ICHAS, with the aim of delivering flexible education options for our students using blended learning. We broadcast most theory-based modules online, giving you the choice between attending classes face-to-face or joining in online. In addition, our learning management system enables us to use a number of innovative approaches to support learning beyond the classroom, including access to lecture recordings, mobile learning, video assessments, easy login to online libraries, and more.

At ICHAS, you’ll also get access to an Office 365 Student account from Microsoft, including the option to download and install Microsoft Office for free, for the duration of your studies. This includes 1TB of online storage space using OneDrive, more than enough to hold and protect every one of your assignments.

Lecture Broadcast & Recording

At ICHAS, we offer all part-time courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels through a blended learning approach. This simply means these programmes combine the best of traditional face-to-face teaching with online/remote learning. Many of your modules will be theory-based, and these classes will be broadcast online live while they’re being taught in the classroom. This gives you the choice of whether to attend in person or online. The online learning platform isn’t a passive experience – you can see the lecturer and the students in the class via webcam; ask and answer questions using your microphone, and view presentation slides as the lecturer explains them.
