Course delivery
There is an emphasis on practice-based learning and learning by doing approaches to supplement the more traditional approaches of lectures, guest speakers, tutorials, workshops, seminars and a virtual learning environment (VLE) will complement and enhance traditional face-to-face learning.
Knowledge and skills will be developed through case-studies, role-plays, simulations, presentations, projects, reflective portfolios and use of technology supported activities.
Typically, you will receive 4 hours of teaching per module each week. This time will be split between talks or presentation and seminars, demonstrations, discussions, problem solving activities and assessment development activities.
Learning activities enable you to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller groups of around 15-40 students. In addition, you will have timetabled meetings with your personal tutor at least twice a year.
