How you will learn
Teaching
In a typical week, all lectures are delivered in person on campus, supported by seminar sessions designed to encourage collaboration and critical discussion. Seminar activities may include case studies, group tasks, presentations, videos, additional readings, and live webinars. Lecture slides and supporting materials are made available online through Moodle, alongside access to extensive library resources.
Class sizes
Lectures are typically delivered to larger groups, while seminars and tutorials are held in the same room, with students divided into smaller groups for discussion and activities.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you will need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework, presentations and exams. Our library and online resources will support your further reading and research. You can also join a range of student societies.
Overall workload
Your overall workload consists of contact hours (lectures, seminars, etc), 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.
Assessment
In this course, you will be assessed through a variety of employment-focused activities, which may include essays, presentations, reports, proposals, role play, small-scale research, and exams.
