The learning environment

Teaching methods vary from subject to subject, but most taught courses are delivered through:

• lectures – the most formal method of teaching, providing you with the foundation for further independent study;
• seminars – which encourage group discussion; and
• tutorials – smaller group discussions.

Other methods of teaching include:

• language laboratory classes;
• project work;
• science and technology practical exercises; and
• studio work in art and design.

Many courses also include a work placement, which give you the chance to gain practical experience in business or industry.

Appropriate information technology will be available on each course to help you produce course work or solve problems.
