Learning and Teaching

This course has been designed as a blended learning course. This means there are face-to-face teaching days at Glenside that comprise master classes, practical workshops and online learning days. These are designed to be interactive and also give you access to full text articles and documents, websites and online quizzes, and additional resources.

The idea behind a blended learning approach is that it will give you a much more flexible approach to learning than simply attending the university. We have found that this enables access to modules, if based further away from the university. It will also give you the opportunity to manage your time in a more flexible way. It can be difficult to juggle being a student, working full or part-time (and working nights!) and also having a life outside work. This approach has been designed to help you achieve all of this.
