Course and Module Catalogue

Huddersfield International Study centre encourages students to be academic citizens who are self- directed and motivated learners. Key research skills such as critical thinking, self-reflection and good academic practice are an integral part of teaching, learning and assessment activity. The development of personal learning and thinking skills, professionalism and employability skills are also fundamental to curriculum content and delivery.

To facilitate the independent learner, learning will mainly take place through small interactive group sessions where students are encouraged to explore content, ask questions, contribute to discussions and reflect on their progress. Emphasis is placed on individualised learning and avoiding teaching to the middle to ensure that the learning needs of each student are met.  Learning will also take place to a lesser extent, through formal lectures. Each teaching session/lecture is supported by learning and assessment resources on the module VLE page on Brightspace. These include weekly objectives words to learn, slides/learning resources, interactive activities including assessments, useful videos and independent study. Every module will have at least one pre-identified element that will be taught through a flipped learning approach (screen cast lecture and associated assessment) in the independent study area on Brightspace.

For students with additional learning needs additional learning support plans are produced in collaboration with the University well-being and disability service and through these reasonable adjustments for teaching, learning and assessment are planned in advance for the duration of the student journey.
