How you will learn
Teaching
Learning takes place through a combination of timetabled learning and independent study.
You can view more information about how each module is taught within our 'What you will study' section.
Seminars and workshops enable you to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller groups. You will also be able to meet your personal tutor. Timetabled learning may fall between 9am and 9pm depending on your courses and tutorials.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you'll need to dedicate self-study time (around 20-30 hours per week) to read, prepare for coursework and presentations.
You can use Stockwell Street library and online resources to support further reading and research.
Overall workload
You will learn one module only in each six-week teaching block involving one day per week classroom teaching and online sessions. At the end of each block, you will have one extension week, and an additional week to work on your assessments.
Assessment
You can view how each module is assessed within our 'What you will study' section.
Each course has formal assessments which count towards your grade. Some courses may also include 'practice' assignments, which help you monitor progress and do not count towards your final grade.
Feedback summary
We aim to provide feedback on assignments and to release examination results within 15 working days.
Dates and timetables
The academic year runs from September to June.
