Amazing Teaching

OUTSTANDING TEACHING AND

LEARNING All our degrees are designed and delivered in a way that best suits the subject being taught, and the knowledge and skills you are expected to develop as part of your studies.

During your induction, your tutors will outline what modules and topics you’ll be studying during your first year at LJMU. You’ll find out more about any examinations or assignments you’ll be expected to complete and they will also explain what background reading and independent study you are required to undertake in addition to scheduled activities in your timetable.

Scheduled activities take a wide variety of forms. Depending on your subject these may include:

LECTURES, SEMINARS AND TUTORIALS PROJECT SUPERVISIONS PRACTICAL CLASSES AND LAB WORK WORKSHOPS OR SUPERVISED ACTIVITIES IN STUDIOS FIELDWORK IN THE UK AND OVERSEAS EXTERNAL VISITS AND WORK-BASED LEARNING FEEDBACK SESSIONS
