Block Mode Teaching

From September 2025, this course will be taught in dedicated blocks.

This innovative approach means that you will be taught in six-week blocks that focus exclusively on one module at a time. You will be able to fully immerse yourself in each topic and apply your learning effectively.

Each module block includes eight teaching hours (lectures and practical workshops) each week, over two days.

  • You can focus on one subject at a time, maximising your understanding, retention and application of knowledge 
  • Reduce the stress of juggling multiple subjects at once 
  • A clear timetable making it easier to balance academic commitments with personal life 
  • Dedicated days to delve into each topic without distraction
  • Focus on one assessment at a time at the end of each block
  • Eliminates the pressure of multiple end-of-term assessments 
  • Regular tasks are integrated into each block, ensuring timely feedback and continuous improvement
  • A modern, practical way to learn that prepares you for your career goals.
