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.
Guided independent study encourages students to learn and study outside of scheduled teaching and seminar sessions. Supported by clear guidance and suggested materials, students gain in depth knowledge and understanding of course content. It also encourages students in their development of independent critical judgement and analytical thought, self-directed learning and time-management skills.
The following will give you an idea of the typical hours you will spend as you progress through your studies:
