'Materials only' courses
For internal University of Bristol staff and research students only, information and FAQs relating to our 'materials only' short courses.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was perfectly paced, the learning / examples / exercises were very well developed and were also fun.
I think the tutors did an amazing job of making the course engaging online - not an easy task!
