Small group teaching remains at the heart of our learning and teaching ethos. For some modules, tutorials containing a maximum of 10 students meet regularly throughout the year for informal discussion. Teaching is delivered through a combination of:

  • tutorials (up to10 students)
  • seminars (12 - 20 students)
  • lectures (up to 150 students)
  • where appropriate through the use of interactive computer resources

We place emphasis on the acquisition of individual transferable skills as well as the development of knowledge and skills important to professional and academic practice.

Assessment

You will be assessed through a combination of exams and coursework such as essays, presentations, portfolios and practical exercises. Most modules incorporate some form of diagnostic assessment in order to allow you to identify your strengths and weaknesses prior to undertaking your final exam, project or essay. Exact proportions will vary according to your option module choices: some modules are assessed entirely by coursework, others are a combination of coursework and exam. You may also choose to do a dissertation.
