I still think that there is another valid point of view about this. I see the benefits of Integrated training which is "continuity". On the other hand I believe that it is possible to achieve a better quality deep learning via de modular route. There is more time to learn and digest the material and in my opinion people are not only preparing for a pass. I am not saying that integrated is just a preparation for the exams but there is less work from the individual. Is a bit like comparing a full time taught course and doing the exact same course by research (ex: an MSc).
Anyway, just another thaught!
