We know our students have diverse talents and strengths and we design your learning experience with that in mind.

One way we achieve this is by continually reviewing and refreshing the content of courses and the way that we deliver learning to keep it fresh and relevant.

As a result, we are making further enhancements to all of our undergraduate degree courses to:

• Consolidate the way that modules are structured to allow for more in-depth study.
• Give students more choice on their assessment in at least one module per year.
• Provide more opportunity for interdisciplinary study.
• Increase innovation in how teaching and learning takes place.
• Embed employability skills.
• Reduce the number of written exams and increase practical assessments and course work.

Based on your feedback, we have made the following improvements:

• Sense of belonging

  To increase the feeling students ‘belong’ at the University, we’re developing learning communities in our learning spaces, increased access to specialist areas, have increased our branding and brought in vending machines.
• Availability of software

  Specialist software has been made available in shared spaces so students have an ability to work where they feel most comfortable.
• Support sessions for students

  We’ve introduced support for students provided by students – which we believe benefits those both receiving and delivering advice. These include PiShop, Engineering PiShop and PASS.
• Assessing group work: fairness

  You had concerns about how individual work is assessed in group scenarios – we’re making sure contributions made are identified in assessment briefs and communicating the benefits of group work.
• Lectures cancelled

  We’re strict about enforcing a zero-tolerance approach towards cancellation of lectures – any classes which have been postponed will be rescheduled. We’re committed to ensuring there’s as little disruption to studies as possible.
