Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

This module is primarily an independent research module, meaning that it is student-led.

Instead of weekly seminars we have three sessions over the summer. Two of these are group sessions and one is an individual feedback session. Students taking this module can also provide peer support to one another, and offer feedback to each other on research topics and ideas.
The sessions are delivered flexibly, and hybrid participation is facilitated.
