Teaching and learning in science

Teaching and learning are at the heart of our mission

We strive to create an open, inclusive and innovative environment and to engage students as partners in teaching and learning.

We run a series of good practice seminars and ensure all academic staff are informed of available technologies and how they can be adopted.
We run an annual small grant scheme which provides funds for staff to pursue new initiatives in teaching and learning.
We make regular use of the Student Partnership scheme to help drive improvements in teaching and learning.
