Covid-19 and your course

Quality learning environment

We know the last few months have been challenging and uncertain for us all.

Whatever happens next, we will provide you with a quality learning environment while adjusting to any changes in public health guidelines.

We have more than a decade’s experience with blended and online learning in Classics, Ancient History, Archaeology and Egyptology.

Our blended learning takes a number of shapes. We teach using a combination of asynchronous lectures and live seminars conducted via Zoom or Blackboard Collaborate.

To ensure students get the best learning experience, we have arranged digital tours of museums and heritage sites, as well as the use of 3D models for object handling and object study lessons.

We have also developed partnerships with museum and heritage institutions to provide content for our students.

Regardless of the current COVID situation, we take our support of students very seriously.

You will have a dedicated academic advisor and you will be able to see your advisor on a regular basis both on a one-to-one basis (with meetings conducted safely online) or in group settings.

Many students enjoy our more informal coffee meetings which are hosted by academic advisors and supervisors throughout the year.

All teaching staff also have weekly open office hours where you can meet and discuss questions or queries about specific courses you are taking.
