Teaching methods - what to expect

Lectures
Laboratory classes
Tutorials
Project work

We will teach you through a combination of lectures and laboratory classes, tutorials and project work. All of our academic staff are involved with the undergraduate teaching course.

You will spend approximately 20% of your time in Lectures and 10% in Tutorials and Labs. The remaining 70% of your time will be on self-guided study. This estimate is across the entire programme and therefore weightings will vary year to year and are dependent on optional modules selected.

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 Department is located on the 7th floor with views over the Thames to the London Eye and Westminster. This central location gives you easy access to major libraries and many leading societies including the Institute of Physics, as well as the extensive cultural and social offerings of one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic cities.

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

Assessment

  • Coursework
  • Written/practical examinations
  • Exam
  • Quizzes
  • Weekly Problem Sheets
  • Presentations
  • Laboratory Work

Your performance will be assessed through a combination of coursework and written/practical examinations. Forms of assessment may typically include exams, quizzes, weekly problem sheets, project work, laboratory work and presentations.
