We will initially be adopting a hybrid approach to teaching delivery, through a combination of both face-to-face and online delivery teaching mechanisms. This approach to teaching and learning within the programme has been considered the most appropriate way of ensuring we all remain safe whilst allowing you to commence your studies.
During your induction week activities, you will have the opportunity to meet various School of Business staff at the University, including your programme leader. Furthermore, within the induction week we have a range of other interesting activities planned to enable you to gain knowledge and understanding of the University and to put you into a position to successfully start your studies the following week when teaching begins.
As part of the hybrid approach to delivering the programme, you will receive:
– Weekly face-to-face module session times with tutors and fellow students allowing you to engage with other students studying the programmes.
– Online and virtual module sessions covering a range of activities relevant to each module you study within our Virtual Learning Environment.
– Online interactive sessions from guest speakers and professional accounting bodies.
– Directed reading and activities to enable you to actively participate within independent study.
Online activities will be captured allowing you to revisit these at future time points to reinforce learning. Our software will allow you to actively participate and engage with tutors and other students within the scheduled online sessions. We are continually reviewing the position on social distancing and as conditions develop, we will adopt our approach to teaching and learning accordingly.
Please remember you will be with us for the whole year and we are passionate and dedicated towards providing a range of experiences and opportunities that are appropriate to enable you to develop the knowledge and skills to complete the first stage of your programme.
We will make all reasonable efforts to provide the courses and student experience outlined. It may be necessary to make changes in response to COVID-19 whilst we continue to follow government guidance. View our FAQs for more information or contact us.
A typical week for you will include lectures, seminars, group work and e-learning, and your progress will be assessed by written exams, case studies, assignments, and reports.
Compared to HND level, you will be expected to work much more independently and take greater responsibility for your own learning.
Some modules have prerequisites. Read more about what this means in our Help and Advice article.
