Teaching and assessment

All teaching in this programme is strongly research led, based
on our staff’s internationally renowned original research. Most
modules are taught through a combination of lectures and
seminars. Lectures are designed to move beyond the basic texts
and to encourage critical assessment of conflicting views and
theories. In seminars, you will take part in discussions and debates
in small groups facilitated by lecturers and professors. Some
modules are assessed through a combination of coursework and
examinations; some are assessed only on written coursework, while
in other modules oral presentations and other types of seminar
contributions are formally assessed.
