Teaching methods - what to expect
Teaching is led by the Department of Informatics with the management modules being delivered by King's Business School. Lectures, seminars and group tutorials deliver most of the modules on the course. We often use a flipped classroom approach that creates opportunities for active learning engagement and interaction with world-class experts.
You will spend approximately 12% of your time in Lectures and Large Group Tutorials and 8% in Small Group Tutorials and Labs. 80% of your time will be on self-guided study, including the Project modules. This estimate is across the entire programme and therefore weightings will vary year to year and are dependant on optional modules selected.
At King’s, all students are allocated a Personal Tutor who will play a key role in helping you to get the most out of your studies, providing support and encouragement for your time at university. Personal tutors provide you with the opportunity to periodically take stock of your learning, academic progress and general wellbeing as you progress through your studies, offering guidance on how to seek further support if you need it, and how to access the range of opportunities available to you as a King's student.
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 majority of learning for this degree takes place at the King’s College London Strand Campus, with occasional lectures and practical sessions taking place at the Waterloo Campus. Please note that locations are determined by where each module is taught and may vary depending on the optional modules you select.
Courses are divided into modules. You will normally take modules totally 360 credits (480 credits for the Year Abroad pathway).
