You will develop as an independent critical thinker through the use of enquiry-based learning and flipped classroom techniques.
We pride ourselves on the variety of assessments, encompassing essays, exams, practical tasks, research projects, case analyses, presentations, seminars, reflections, formative blended learning exercises, and online collaborations, serve both formative and summative purposes.
The course is 50% theory and 50% practical so your time will be split between University and Placement. You will be required to work unsociable hours in practice. Theory time is between 9-5pm
