Learning and teaching methods
For the 2023/24 curriculum, our PGT/CPD modules will continue to be delivered using hybrid learning. This means that depending on the subject and content of learning and teaching, modules will mainly be delivered via a combination of face to face and online delivery (both live and asynchronous), as this has worked really well for our practice-based colleagues. It is important to recognise the majority of modules contain face to face contact time and attendance at the University will be required.
Learning and teaching methods include:
- Key theoretical lectures
- Class discussions and debate
- Self-directed learning activities
- E-learning.
Assessment
An essay analysing an aspect of sexual and reproductive healthcare, specific to your own area of practice, from both a physical and psychological perspective.
