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 ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ 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
