Teaching
In maths you will learn by methods such as:
- lectures
- tutorials with debates and discussions
- workshops
- computer assisted learning
- practical classes during which you design, carry out and analyse experiments
We also teach the use of professional mathematical software packages in order to allow you to explore maths beyond the limits of traditional teaching. This also prepares you for the way in which mathematicians work across various industries.
For psychology, throughout Levels 1-4 you will engage in research, moving from assigned and specified activities or studies to more independent practical work.
Most modules at Levels 1 and 2 have two lectures and one tutorial or workshop each week, including online workshops.
At Level 3 you will have lectures each week and tutorials centring around coursework. At Level 4, teaching is in much smaller groups and our module options are based on the research expertise of our staff, and vary slightly from year to year.
In your final year a supervisor will oversee a dissertation project where you will apply your research skills.
Assessment
