Learning and support

Student support

Support on your course

Our courses have an active community that welcomes students from all over the world.

The small cohort makes it easy to get to know students and staff on the course.

You’ll get support from your academic advisor, more experienced students, and our dedicated student support team.

Our academic staff have an 'open door' policy and are available for online one-to-one meetings.

We also have online 'office hours' each week, where you can drop in and chat with us.

We facilitate peer support activities, where second and final-year students support first years with their learning, alongside other initiatives that allow you to learn with and from one another.

The student support team for your course is there to advise you and signpost you to the wide range of support services at the University.

We run support sessions to ensure you’re familiar and comfortable with the technology that we’re using.

How you will learn

We use different modes of engagement to meet different learning goals.

We believe digital and face-to-face teaching are complementary, not in competition, and have observed many benefits to digital teaching.

Digital learning brings several benefits, including chat functions that allow relevant links and supplementary information to be shared in real-time, and breakout ‘rooms’ that facilitate immediate small-group discussion and inclusivity - because access to learning is less likely to be constrained by disability, social anxiety or other potential barriers.

Our interactive lectures are usually delivered to your whole cohort in person, on campus, and supported by seminars, group work, and online activities, such as self-assessment quizzes to consolidate your learning.

Currently, lectures are delivered online, usually live but occasionally pre-recorded, with supporting activities delivered through our online learning environment.

Seminars are usually smaller group sessions led by a member of staff, which give you the opportunity to discuss topics covered in your lectures in depth.

Currently, seminars are online and you can contribute to discussions through your computer audio or by using comment or chat functions.

This could include working with other students to discuss a case, prepare and deliver a presentation, or to write a report.

Group work is important to consolidate and deepen your knowledge as well as develop important transferable skills.

Currently, group work takes place online through platforms including Zoom breakout rooms and Blackboard Collaborate.

Employability

Your degree could take you into a variety of jobs.

Develop skills for a range of careers including primary and early years education, educational psychology, child and adolescent counselling, and special needs education.
