Learning and teaching
Overall workload
We provide a flexible high-quality learning experience. You should expect to spend approximately 35 to 40 hours a week studying on your course. These hours consist of structured activities and independent learning.
In most of the weeks, you can expect to spend between eight to 12 hours engaged in structured learning activities per week. Especially in the first two weeks, you can expect to spend about 20 hours each week, mostly associated with sessions associated with the delivery of the consulting skills.
Timetabled sessions delivered in person on campus will be a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials, and laboratories. Other activities may include following a recorded lecture, or other learning materials, or joining a timetabled live interactive session.
Independent learning
The remainder of your time outside these structured activities will be spent in independent learning which includes individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. You will be expected to work on your own and as part of a group.
