How will I be taught?
The course is taught by means of lectures, seminars, micro teaching, workshops, supervised teaching and communication practice, observation and tutorials. Practical work forms an important part of the course. The course is taught by lecturers in the University as well as outside experts and professionals, including people who are hearing impaired. Some help will be given with study skills if necessary.
How will I be assessed?
The course is assessed by means of continuous assessment and formal examinations in the theoretical and practical aspects of the course, including communication.
How long is the course?
This course may be taken over one year, two years or nine months depending on the student needs and on which courses are running at the time. (The two year course is specially designed for people who are working or have other commitments).
There are normally 10 weeks spent in college on the one year and nine months courses, and 10 weeks and one block of two days on the two year course. These weeks are normally spread over the course as are the minimum 88 hours of observation and supervised teaching and communication practice.
It is often possible for students to do their observation and supervised teaching practice in their own areas with local teachers, though their work can also be carried out in Manchester.
How often do I have to attend?
Students are normally expected to attend the whole course.
