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 following table will give you an idea of what a typical year might look like as you progress through your studies. 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.
