In a typical week, learning takes place through a combination of lectures, workshops or seminars. You will be able to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in seminar sessions.
These vary by option and activity. Lectures and workshops have the full class, while seminars or tutorials are normally attended by smaller groups.
Outside of timetabled sessions, you will need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework and presentations. Our Stockwell Street Library and online resources will support your further reading and research.
Your overall workload consists of contact hours (lectures and seminars), independent learning, and assessments. For full-time students, the workload should be roughly equivalent to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of modules you are studying.
On this course, students are assessed by a number of assessment types such as extended essays, presentations, reports, practical exercises and a dissertation.
We aim to give feedback on assignments within 15 working days.
The academic year runs from September to June.
