Students are invited to join discussions on topics related to lectures, which are led by a tutor.
Work submitted by students is returned with grades and feedback each term.
Supervisory system
On registration, every student is assigned to a member of the department, who acts as their supervisor. Students are encouraged to take academic or personal problems to their supervisor, who will do all they can to assist them.
Choice and flexibility
