Teaching and Learning

pencil and ruler iconYou will encounter a wide variety of teaching methods at university, probably more than you will have done at school or college.

Teaching at university is delivered in lectures and seminars. Lectures introduce topics, while seminars involve smaller group discussions and activities like presentations, role-plays, and simulations.

To enhance learning, online resources are used to complement academic sources you can find in the library.

Assessments are diverse and include exams, essays, presentations, and projects. Each unit is assessed separately, providing flexibility and reducing exam stress. Timely feedback is provided to help students improve their work.

Beyond formal learning, our student-run Politics Society and Model UN Society offers extracurricular opportunities like social events, guest speaker visits, and field trips, fostering a vibrant and engaging learning environment.
