We also work with employers in the region to give students work experience, both during their study and after graduation as part of our Student Business Projects scheme. We are committed to maintaining our high standards of teaching and learning. A report on the academic audit undertaken in March 1997 by the Higher Education Quality Council is available from the Academic Secretary. How you learn varies according to your degree programme. Lectures and tutorials still play an important part but many other methods, including those that are self-directed, will enable you to acquire your subject knowledge.
Exams are likely to be just one of the assessment methods.
Continuous assessment will allow you to work steadily rather than have everything depend on an intense exam period. You will be told how much each form of assessment counts towards your final result. You will have to pass all your assessments by the end of a year to progress to the next. Key Skills Employers look for graduates who can demonstrate a range of key skills independent of a particular subject specialism. It will allow you to reflect on your learning and generate an action plan for your own development.
