Course delivery
Our programme prepares you for a career in Education through diverse learning methods including: seminars, lectures, workshops and virtual learning.
- Lecture - Academics give organised talks to large groups of students who take notes, less interactive.
- Seminar - Small group sessions designed to complement lectures and are generally more informal in nature. They give you the chance to discuss issues with fellow students and allow for more interaction than a traditional lecture.
- Workshop - Workshops are for smaller groups, but instead of discussion, students might learn about a tool or a technique that they will be required to know about for their course. They are usually more hands-on learning that allows discussion regarding the given topic.
