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.
We have made enhancements to our undergraduate courses to:
- Give students the option of choosing their assessment method in at least one module per year.
- Embed employability within each course.
- Increase innovation in the way that teaching and learning takes place.
- Ensure that the learning experience reflects inclusivity and diversity.
- Increase contact time with tutors.
This is in addition to a plan to improve gallery facilities at Edward Street and the upcoming launch of a new Centre for Contemporary Arts, encompassing the Sallis Benney, Grand Parade and Edward Street Galleries.
Based on your feedback, we have made the following improvements:
- Learning facilities at Watts and Edward StreetWe've improved learning spaces across two sites by refurbishing the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Edward Street building, and the 6th floor of the Watts building. New computer equipment has also been brought in.
- CommunityYou've asked for a greater student community feel and opportunities to work with other students. To increase this, we're arranging a number of social and academic events, field trips and workshop opportunities for students across all levels. We're also appointing student ambassadors to work with us to support online and physical activities among our community.
- Assessment criteriaYou wanted better clarity on assessment criteria, and in response we'll be offering more guidance through scheduled class discussions, exercises and increased information in module handbooks. We're committed to making sure there’s a clear sense of what is expected from you to do well in assignments.
