Teaching
You are taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, small and large group discussions, online forums and workshops.
In addition, meetings with personal academic tutors are scheduled on at least 4 occasions in the first year and three occasions in each of the other years of a course.
You have an opportunity to undertake a semester long placement in the third year of the course, supervised for agreed projects by a University tutor.
You will be taught by a teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on the course. The team includes senior academics and professional practitioners.
