IHETC Campus
The questions we get asked
The questions applicants ask before committing, gathered here with a full answer: admission, pace, workload, fees, assessment and the qualification awarded. If yours is missing, it deserves to be here: write to us and it will be.
Day-to-day study
How many hours a week should I plan for?
From 13 to 20 hours of actual work depending on the programme, with the exact figure on every programme page. It is recomputed from the hours and the 30 weeks of the academic year: a public derivation, not a marketing estimate.
Are there fixed schedules?
Live sessions are offered and recorded, and you follow them when it suits you. The only firm dates are end-of-semester assessments and the defence, published in the calendar at the start of the year so you can plan.
Can I pause for a year?
Yes, on a reasoned request. Your progress and validated results remain valid: you resume where you stopped, without redoing what you passed. Resumption happens at the next session of the module concerned.
Assessment and the value of the award
How are we assessed remotely?
Through work submitted and marked throughout the semester, then a synthesis assessment. Assessments counting toward the award include an identity check: that is what gives the result its value, for you and for the employer who reads it.
What exactly do I get at the end?
The award attached to the programme you completed — master's degree for a Bac+5 level programme — timestamped, with its descriptive supplement and a public verification link a recruiter opens without creating an account. Our authorisations and how to check them are published on the page devoted to our status.
Can the tutor do the work for me?
It rephrases, offers an example, asks the question that moves things forward, and during an assessment it sends each person back to their own reasoning. That split is exactly what gives meaning to the resulting award.
Practical conditions
My connection is unstable. Is that a blocker?
Courses download and run offline; your answers are sent when the signal returns and nothing is lost. This is a structuring design constraint of the digital campus, taken into account from the outset.
Do I need a computer?
For reading, following and submitting most work, a phone is enough. Some technical programmes ask for a computer from the second year — that is stated on the relevant programme page, before you commit.
