Providing high-quality education
How you will learn
We are committed to providing a high-quality learning environment.
Below you can see the ways we offer this at The University of Manchester.
Lectures are usually delivered to your whole cohort in person, on campus, and supported by seminars, group work, and online activities to consolidate your learning.
Seminars are smaller group sessions led by a member of staff, which give you the opportunity to discuss topics covered in your lectures in depth.
Practical studio-based design work is an important part of the teaching process.
Field courses and study visits are usually offered in Manchester and in an international location such as Portugal.
While we hope that visits and field courses will run as usual from September 2022, we are currently ensuring learning outcomes are met through specially designed virtual field courses.
