Course Overview
Teaching includes lectures, lab classes, tutorials, and small group student support hours. Courses include innovative software demonstrations, videos, and more traditional slide presentations alongside work examples.
State-of-the-art web-based materials, automated feedback and marking systems, online tests and electronic coursework submission all provide an excellent modern learning environment. Apart from project work, which is assessed by coursework only, most modules are assessed partly by coursework and exams.
You will be assigned your tutor, who can provide advice about academic matters, welfare concerns, and career development. You can see your tutor anytime by appointment or during office hours.
