In addition, students can also arrange one-to-one meetings with staff which enables you to receive personal or small-group support for assignments, to discuss career paths, or simply to develop topics discussed in class. Assessed work will make demands on your academic, critical and creative skills and includes essays, analytical portfolios, scripts, news articles, online work, research tasks, presentations, and practical projects.

Students have access to a full range of student support services including the Centre for Learning and Study Support (CLaSS) and a dedicated careers service. The Mandarin module focuses on language competence/skills classes and a ‘cultural awareness’ class each week which introduces history, culture, institutions, politics and literature.
