BA Politics with Foundation

... United Kingdom
... Durham University - Study Group

Course Overview

This course is focused on non-traditional and international students and the modes of teaching and learning are designed to provide and facilitate high-quality teaching and learning in a supportive and productive environment that encourages self-awareness, reflective practice, and cross-cultural awareness. The course is delivered through a mixture of lectures, tutorials/workshops, and practical classes. Typically, lectures provide key information on a particular area and this is consolidated through tutorials and/or workshops and practical classes where appropriate, particularly for laboratory and IT skills. The course provides up to 18 contact hours per week, but further consolidation takes place through independent study and/or voluntary workshops provided outside the courses formal contact hours. Emphasis is placed on developing confidence and classes are generally small, normally with 25 to 35 students to ensure individual needs can be met.
