Course Delivery Method

We use a blended approach to course delivery. As well as class based taught sessions, and one to one tutorial, each student will be engaged in group activities, individual research tasks, and will be encouraged to use a range of technology as well as traditional methods to meet the course criteria.

They will also be supported whilst on their teaching placement, to ensure that they are able to put the theory they are learning in class into practice, within a real work environment. Each is allocated their own tutor, who will guide their assessments, and provide continuous, tailored support and feedback. Our overall approach, whilst tutor led, is student centred.
