Teaching & Modules

Teaching methods - what to expect

We strongly believe that teaching and research should be closely related. All our teaching staff are research-active, many enjoying international reputations as leaders in their fields. Our commitment to original research means that we can introduce students to new discoveries in a diverse range of fields being explored by our staff.

Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work.
