Your personal tutor will be able to give you advice on academic issues, including module choice and assessment. Normally, your personal tutor will teach on your own degree course and you will keep the same personal tutor throughout your course.
You will be allocated a personal tutor at the beginning of your studies. Seminars may take various formats, including plenary group discussion, small-group work and student-led presentations. Seminars provide an opportunity for you to explore the ideas outlined in the lectures. Lectures provide an overview of the key concepts and frameworks for a topic, equipping you to carry out independent research for the seminars and to develop your own ideas. Most modules involve a mixture of lectures and small group teaching (called classes, seminars, workshops or tutorials). For your part, you will need to put in the necessary amount of work both during and outside formal teaching sessions, and make good use of the facilities provided. We will provide your teaching and learning resources, and will be responsive to your needs and views. They bring the lessons learned from their most recent research into the classroom, giving you access to critical business thinking and contemporary real life examples and scenarios.
While our internationally recognised faculty consists of academics who are at the forefront of knowledge within their field. Our teaching is heavily informed by research and combines academic rigour with practical relevance. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available. This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. The University is committed to providing a wide range of module options where possible, but please be aware that whilst every effort is made to offer choice this may be limited in certain circumstances.
