Teaching & Modules

Teaching methods - what to expect

Teaching is conducted through a combination of methods including lectures, problem sheets, tutorials, projects, practical laboratory sessions, workshops, and group-based activities. 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, including independent study.

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 Waterloo, Strand, and Guy’s Campuses. Please note that locations are determined by where each module is taught and may vary depending on the optional modules you select.
