Teaching methods
The class-based modules will include a period of preparatory study, a week of intensive face-to-face lectures and tutorials, followed by a period for assignment work. Attendance at modules will be a requirement for study. Some non-classroom activities may be provided at laboratory facilities elsewhere in the University. The course will include taught material on research skills. A virtual learning environment [VLE] will provide between-module support.
The taught modules will include group work, discussions, guest lectures, and interaction and feedback with tutors and lecturers. Practical work aims to develop the students' knowledge and understanding of the subject.
