Assessment and Teaching Methods

During your degree, you will strengthen your portfolio of intellectual and personal skills. The learning and teaching methods we use, ensure that our programme is both vocationally relevant and academically challenging. Our approach is student-centred, practical, participative and relevant to the needs of employers. We have moved away from traditional teacher-centred learning. Our approach is geared toward independent learning and critical thinking.

Each module on the programme uses its own learning, teaching and assessment strategy to achieve learning objectives. Assessment methods vary between modules and may include unseen examinations, class tests, essays, management reports, case studies, presentations, and group work. A variety of learning technologies are utilised to support the assessment and feedback process.

Learning is much more than attending lectures, seminar and workshops. You have the support of a wide range of resources during your degree. These include podcasts, webinars (internet-based seminars), discussion boards and independent (including online) study.

Our approach to learning provides you with knowledge transfer and exchange. That is, you will learn from the interactions you have with peers, academics, and business leaders. We expect students to adopt an active stance to their own learning, and that of others.
