How students study
Teaching
Full-time: Learning is through a combination of lectures and seminars. You'll discuss and develop your understanding of lecture topics in smaller group sessions. Contact hours may fall between 9am and 9pm, depending on your elective courses.
Part-time / Open learning: With open learning, self-study is supported by on-campus evening workshops and online webinars. A Virtual Learning Environment provides access to online study and library resources and to forums where you can work collaboratively.
Class sizes
The typical student intake per year is up to 20. Lectures are normally attended by 20-45, and seminars/tutorials by 15-30, based on the 2018 intake. This varies by module, particularly if they are shared between degrees.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you'll need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework, presentations and exams. In particular, anyone studying via supported open learning will need to be disciplined and dedicate time to self-study. Our Stockwell Street library and online resources will support your further reading and research.
You can also join a range of student societies, including the Greenwich Entrepreneurs.
