Further information
Teaching and learning methods include lectures, clinical skills workshops, independent study and individual reading. A substantial proportion of teaching is workshop based (either face-to-face or online) and trainees are encouraged to link theory with their own practice throughout.
Assessment of academic work is typically through one written assignment per course, usually an essay, and the dissertation. Students will receive feedback throughout the year on their non-assessed work to support effective participation in online and classroom learning.
