How will I study?
The programmes we offer differ from other university undergraduate courses in the way they are delivered, assessed and studied. Active discussion plays an important part in small-group classroom sessions. Instead of exams, all work is continually assessed using a variety of methods including essays, presentations, case studies and reflective journals.
The diverse backgrounds of our students add value to our sessions, and to optimise this experience, full-time and part-time students study together. The full-time option allows you to complete your course within three years, while the part-time route can take between four and six years, allowing you to continue in employment if you wish.
As a student in the School of Education you will have the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary activities, alongside students from other courses within the School and as part of the Nottingham Advantage Award scheme. You may also wish to apply for temporary or vacation employment via our recruitment agency Unitemps, which may assist with your financial support during your study.
