Teaching Style

We recognise the importance of supporting your learning with high-quality teaching on a predominantly group seminar/workshop basis with significant levels of individual tutorial support, particularly for independent projects.

A significant amount of the learning will be delivered though peer-to-peer learning, problem-solving workshops, group projects and activities that are designed to develop your individual communication skills and an experience similar to that of the workplace environment, as most organisations in the sector work in task-based teams.
