Teaching & modules
Teaching methods - what to expect
We will use a delivery method that will ensure students have a rich, exciting experience from the start. Face to face teaching will be complemented and supported with innovative technology so that students also experience elements of digital learning and assessment.
The usual training period will be a minimum of 4500 hours across the degree.
The course content is typically apportioned as:
- 60% clinical
- 25% academic
- 15% research
This time allocation is flexible and will depend upon the capacity of the trainees to complete the curriculum to a competent level.
Standard university term times do not apply to this course. You will receive a leave allowance for each academic year with full details provided on enrolment.
Assessment
- Written examinations
- Oral examinations
Your three academic taught modules will be assessed by written exams. Your five clinical modules will be examined on cases and open problems with oral exams, and you will have one research module, for which you will submit a report, with an oral exam. The study time and assessment methods detailed above are typical and give you a good indication of what to expect. However, they may change if the course modules change.
