This is around 7 hours a week over the duration of the module. This module develops your ability to achieve learning outcomes using work-based resources. You'll also learn about the skills necessary for employment and develop reflective practice for continuing professional development.
We use the best and most current research and professional practice alongside feedback from our students to make sure course content is relevant to your future career or further studies. Therefore, some course content may change over time to reflect changes in the discipline or industry and some optional modules may not run every year. Academic staff have expertise in clinical practice and research. You can access all teaching resources on Moodle, our virtual learning environment, from anywhere with a Web connection.
One of the main differences between school or college and university is how much control you have over your learning. We're planning for most of your learning to be supported by timetabled face-to-face teaching with some elements of online provision.
Please be aware, the balance between face-to-face teaching and online provision may change depending on Government restrictions. You'll also do lots of independent study with support from staff and our virtual learning environment, Moodle.
Find out more about how our teaching has transformed to best support your learning. We recommend you spend at least 35 hours a week studying for your degree. You'll probably do more independent study and have less scheduled teaching in years 2 and 3, but this depends on which modules you choose.
Most timetabled teaching takes place during the day, Monday to Friday. You may occasionally need to go to University and course events in the evenings and at weekends.
The amount of timetabled teaching you'll get on your degree might be less than what you're used to at school or college, but you'll also get support via video, phone and face-to-face from teaching and support staff when you need it. These include the following people and services:.
Your personal tutor helps you make the transition to independent study and gives you academic and personal support throughout your time at university. As well as regular scheduled meetings with your personal tutor, they're also available at set times during the week if you want to chat with them about anything that can't wait until your next meeting. You'll have help from a team of faculty learning support tutors. They can help you improve and develop your academic skills and support you in any area of your study.
If you require extra support because of a disability or additional learning need our specialist team can help you. You can also request one-to-one appointments and get support from the faculty librarian for science. If English isn't your first language, you can do one of our English language courses to improve your written and spoken English language skills before starting your degree.
