Teaching & Modules

Teaching methods - what to expect

Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work, e.g. 150 hours work for a 15-credit module. These hours cover every aspect of the module: lectures, tutorials, independent study, coursework and preparation for examinations.

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.

This course is primarily taught at the King’s College London Strand Campus. Our location in the heart of London gives you easy access to major libraries and many leading societies, such as the London Mathematical Society and Royal Statistical Society. You will also be studying in one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic cities, with access to London’s wealth of cultural and social opportunities.

Courses are divided into modules. You will normally take modules totalling 360 credits.
