Teaching
Teaching and learning
Much of our teaching takes place in seminars, so you'll develop your debating skills and learn through group discussion and exploration. You'll also attend lectures and practical workshops.
You’ll spend around 12 hours per week in lectures and seminars. For each hour of teaching time you’ll need to spend several more in independent study – including preparing for lectures and seminars, doing reading and research and preparing for assessments and examinations.
Assessment
Modules are assessed by coursework, presentations and written exams. You'll work on an extended self-directed research project in your third year.
Resources and facilities
The School offers excellent on-campus resources to aid your studies, including:
the Blizard Building, which houses state-of-the-art facilities for students and staff, including open-plan research laboratories, a 400-seat lecture theatre and a café
extensive library facilities – the Queen Mary library at Mile End, large medical archives at the Royal London and Barts hospitals, and access to the University of London library at Senate House.
