Covid Update for Learning and Teaching
We have made some changes to the way that we teach this year, with more activities taking place online than usual.
The University calendar runs in teaching blocks. Teaching block one (TB1) runs from September until January and during this block, for this year, you will be taught in a ‘blended’ way. This means that some of your teaching will be delivered online and some will be on campus. The online teaching, where you will be physically apart from your lecturer, can be ‘live’ with your lecturer present and where you’ll be able to interact. Some of it may be self-directed which means that you can access the learning materials at a time to suit you.
Your face-to-face, on campus sessions will be a mixture of:
Programme study groups and workshops
Subject seminars
Study skills workshops
Induction and orientation events
Individual Academic Mentoring meetings
Staff consultation and office hours
Dissertation supervision (Final year and PGT)
Your online learning and teaching may include:
Live streamed lectures
