Education

  • One of the great benefits of being a new university is that we can look at things with fresh eyes and change them for the better.
  • Our approach to learning is different. We’re here to help you succeed, so we work closely with you from the very beginning of your first year, giving you the time and attention you need to develop into a confident and independent learner.
  • Year two is focused on ‘negotiated learning’. This is learning that helps you to become more self-directed and reflective.
  • By year three, you’ll be equipped for ‘independent learning’. You’ll have access to expert support according to your specialist interests
  • Our approach to learning, assessment and feedback will help you to change, evolve and succeed.
