10 Academic Writing BWR110 (non-credit)
Academic Writing BWR110 (non-credit) is a short ten (10) hour module,
requiring the completion of two assignments.
Each of the above 9 modules is approximately 100 study hours duration (excluding Academic Writing). Self-tests, assignments and a final examination at the end of each module are compulsory. Unlimited one to one tutor and admin access is provided throughout the program.
Modules may be studied in any sequence. Course Credit hours for the UK are 90 Credits (each module is 10 credits). Alternatively, for those who are considering entering a USA medical school the credit hours equate to 3 credit hours per module – a total of 27 credits hours. Completion of the appropriate credit hours with a grade B+ or more are needed in order to satisfy the academic requirements of this Advanced Diploma. Opportunities do exist for graduates, without further training; but this course by itself does not, nor should be seen as constituting full medical training.
Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the Academy, marked by the Academy's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.
Who is this course for?
Medical Students, Science Students, Neurophysiology Students, Pre-med Students
Requirements
A pc or laptop with internet connection.

Questions and answers
I have a bachelor in arts, Can I study this course. And what are my possibilities after doing the course.
Answer:There are countless career possibilities within the medical sector including an Anaesthetist, Cardiologist, Clinical radiologist, Pathologist and much more. Of course, further training would be required these careers, but a Med Advanced Diploma with ADL would be the first step. If you would like to discuss career options, with our trained staff please contact our main website. I'm unable to place any URLs on REED, so simply Google: ADL Academy for Distance Learning Regards Amanda White
This was helpful.Hi I don't have A levels , if I pass this course can I apply for a university in UK to study medicine.
Answer:Hi Thevagi Yes, a TQUK Advanced Diploma would certainly enable you to continue your studies at University to study medicine, and will have standing on application. TQUK are approved as an awarding organisation by Ofqual. If you have a specific university in mind, it would still be prudent to check the entry requirements, and confirm they have the right degree for you. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards Amanda White General Manager
