Learning and Teaching Approach
This programme is delivered with a variety of learning and teaching approaches. For all modules, theory lectures are delivered that aim to deliver the core content and provide the underpinning knowledge. To complement the theory lectures, students have group seminars/practical sessions that are used to reinforce concepts delivered theoretically.
The teaching methods focus on facilitating a student-centred approach to enhance the independent learning that takes place outside of the classroom.
Contact Time
Contact time includes approximately 12-16 hours a week to include lectures, seminars, practicals and tutorials.
Students are also expected to carry out a significant amount of independent study in addition to contact time (approximately 25-30 hours a week).
Independent study includes reading around the subject, preparing for tutorials and seminars, preparing for, and completing, module assessments and revision for examinations; forming an essential part of a student’s learning journey.
You can expect to receive your timetable during induction week.
