You will normally study four or five course units per semester.

Each week there are on average two hours of lectures for each course unit and one hour small group teaching, although this varies slightly, depending on course choices.

You are expected to double this in private study.

Group work and group or individual presentations will form a regular part of your assignments.

Essays, multiple choice tests, project reports and presentations, in-class tests, and weekly assignments constitute the coursework component of assessment, although the nature and proportion of coursework varies across course units.

The remainder of assessment is by unseen examination.

Depending on the degree course, in your final year you can choose to do a research-based dissertation or project.

We aim to strike a balance between examinations and assessed coursework as well as providing opportunities for feedback on progress through non-assessed work.
