We are proud to provide an outstanding educational experience, using the most effective learning and teaching approaches, carefully tailored to suit the specific needs of your course. Apart from a small number of online-only courses, most of our courses consist of in-person, on-campus teaching, enabling full engagement with your lecturers and fellow students.
Practical skills sessions, lab work seminars, and workshops predominantly take place in person, allowing for group working and demonstrations. We also operate virtual labs and Simulated Learning Environments which will facilitate greater access to training opportunities in the future. However, our approach also includes the use of some online learning to support and enhance traditional face-to-face teaching.
Online learning may take place ‘live’ using software such as Zoom, allowing you to interact with the lecturer and other students and to ask questions. Lecture recordings also allow for more flexibility to revisit material, to revise for assessments and to enhance learning outside of the classroom. Some modules have extra resources in Canvas, such as videos, slides and quizzes enabling further flexible study.
During your degree, you will spend half of your time at university learning theory and the other half in practice through clinical placements. You will be offered a wide range of clinical work placements with our healthcare providers.
We use a range of methods to assess your leaning including essays, lab reports, short presentations and some exams, along with a portfolio and practical assessments during clinical placement.
This course may offer some modules taught through the medium of Welsh or
bilingually for students who consider themselves to be fluent Welsh speakers.
