Teaching and learning

A variety of learning and teaching support is provided for our courses including lectures, personal tutorials, example classes, supervised laboratory sessions, work-based learning and project work.Project work is particularly useful for developing employability skills such as the ability to work independently and to plan, design, document and implement large software projects. You will also develop team working, organisation and management skills.Each student is allocated a personal tutor where one-to-one academic support is given to help students with their learning throughout the duration of their course.The Department operates a student mentor scheme where students from year 2 offer support and guidance to new first year students.Support for distance learning is provided through Moodle - an online, remote e-learning environment.
