Can I take unit 1 (the consolidating unit) and the practice education unit (unit 5) only?
Yes, this is a good combination of units for someone who does not want to complete the full programme. However, please be aware that you will miss out on teaching from units 2 – 4 which may provide you with helpful background theory and research if you have to supervise a student in the future. On successful completion of the units, you would be awarded 20 university credits per unit at Honours level.
