Teaching
You are taught through a combination of:
Lectures that give an introduction and overview of topics studied as part of the content of each module
Seminars, often featuring small group work and/or round table discussion of published and/or audio-visual materials. These support, extend and develop your knowledge of the topics introduced by lecture
Workshops focusing on preparation for a range of different types of assignment. These develop your understanding and competence for assignment work
Tutorials are one-to-one work with module tutors, usually focusing on assignment preparation or assignment feedback
Assessed and non-assessed, individual and/or group classroom presentations. These help you to the build the skills and confidence for presenting ideas and information in a supportive public environment
In addition, meetings with personal academic tutors are scheduled on at least 4 occasions in the first year and three occasions in each of the other years of the course.
You have an opportunity to gain and reflect upon a work-placement in your second and third year as part of a Work Project Module, supervised by the module tutor.
Moreover, the University places emphasis on enabling students to develop the independent learning capabilities that will equip you for lifelong learning and future employment, as well as academic achievement. A mixture of independent study, teaching and academic support from Student Services and Library Services, and also the personal academic tutoring system enables you to reflect on progress and build up a profile of skills, achievements and experiences that will help you to flourish and be successful
