Block teaching

At Ð԰ɵç̨, our block teaching approach is a gamechanger. This distinctive method means you'll focus on one subject at a time for deeper learning and better results

We are one of only a few universities in the country where you’ll benefit from this approach. With regular assessments and feedback, rather than lots of exams all at once, you’ll have a better study-life balance so you can enjoy student life and get to know your tutors and course mates.

Our block-taught courses are informed by industry knowledge and practice, and many are  accredited by professional bodies. These carefully designed courses are delivered by passionate and talented academics, who will help you develop the skills to achieve your goals and get you started on your career path.

Of course, one size doesn’t fit all, and there will be variations based on the professional requirements of your course. Rest assured you will still benefit from the same excellent learning experience.

What are the benefits of block teaching?

  1. What is block teaching?

    Block teaching is taught in roughly 6 week sessions, allowing you to concentrate on one subject at a time, working closely with your lecturers and classmates before moving on to the next block.
  2. Career preparation

    Not only does block assist your learning, it often reflects how workplace projects are structured. Which means it’ll help you build the problem-solving, time-management and collaboration skills that employers value, giving you a head start in your future career.
  3. Frequent assessments

    You’ll complete assessments at the end of each block and receive feedback quickly, helping you improve as you go.
  4. No exams all at once

    Some courses still include exams, but block teaching means you won’t have lots of exams all at once.
  5. Placement opportunities

    Our blocks are designed around professional requirements, so placements are built in without disrupting your learning.
  6. Does block teaching suit every course?

    Many of our courses use block teaching, but some adapt the model to meet professional and industry standards.
  7. Supporting your wellbeing

    The straightforward timetable offers students a better study-life balance, giving you time for work, family, and social life.
