How you learn
All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.

Staff are experts in their fields and bring their research-based knowledge to all the teaching and learning activities undertaken on the course.  

Lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials combine to challenge your understanding of the social world and help you develop self-confidence and motivation – essential to all graduate jobs.
