The University continually enhances our offer by responding to feedback from our students and other stakeholders, ensuring the curriculum is kept up to date and our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need for the real world. This may result in changes to the course. If changes to your course are approved, we will inform you.

Your learning outcomes will be integrated across the course and met through a variety of methods, including lectures, seminars, residential trips and visits, practicals, case studies, problem based learning exercises, tutorials and work based learning. This will take place alongside an element of technology-enhanced learning to complement your studies, which will be fully supported by the excellent library and online resources, both at the College and UWE Bristol.

There will be substantial scheduled learning for each module and small groups will facilitate individual interaction with your tutors. Additional support is available and an open-door policy exists for student support.
