Â鶹´«Ã½

At Â鶹´«Ã½, it’s our goal to help every student reach their goal, and you deserve a positive teaching and learning experience. With this in mind, the majority of our undergraduate and postgraduate students will get to enjoy an innovative approach to learning known as block teaching. This allows you to focus on one subject at a time instead of several at once, with more regular assessments and a better study‑life balance. Â鶹´«Ã½ is one of the few universities in the country to offer the block teaching method.

With block teaching, not only will you have more time to learn your subject in depth, but you will also benefit from a simple timetable with space to enjoy all that university life has to offer such as sports, societies, meeting friends and discovering your new city. For postgraduate students, this means more time for work, professional development, caring responsibilities, and everything else that's important to you.

Our block-taught courses are informed by industry knowledge and practice, with many accredited by professional bodies. These carefully designed courses are delivered by passionate and talented academics, who will help you develop the skills to achieve your goals and get you started on your career path. In fact, our teaching and facilities are among the reasons we are rated ‘Excellent’ Five Star by QS Top Universities.

*Of course, one size doesn’t fit all, and there will be variations based on the professional requirements of your undergraduate or postgraduate course. Rest assured you will still benefit from the same excellent experience, supportive environment, and friendships which last well beyond your time on campus – making university your new beginning.
