Teaching methods - what to expect
The training period provides a minimum of 4,500 hours over the degree (three years) full- time or an agreed equivalent within the framework for a less than full-time training course.
The course timetable is apportioned typically as:
- 60% clinical
- 20% academic
- 20% 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 an allowance of compulsory and selectable leave for each academic year with full details provided on enrolment.
Assessment
- Written examinations
- Multiple-choice tests
- Clinical Assessment
- Practical work
- Presentations
- Oral examinations
- Dissertation
- Oral presentation
The 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.
