Your Academic Experience
The 2025 student academic experience
This information outlines our approach to support, teaching and assessment for new and continuing students in the 2025-26 academic year. It also signposts you to other more in-depth online information.
Updates made to the 2025-26 student academic experience information
What will teaching be like in 2025-26?
All students studying on an on-campus programme will receive in-person teaching. Where online and digital options enhance the student experience, or have been requested by our students, we will continue to use them to benefit their learning.
How will my degree be assessed?
You can be confident that all programmes fairly assess the knowledge, skills and abilities learned during your degree. Assessment approaches will vary by degree programme and the needs of external bodies. In-person invigilated summative examinations are just one of the ways in which we assess.
For more information on the approaches to assessment for your programme, contact your School.
Keeping you up to date
We’ve designed an
induction programme
to welcome you into our friendly student community. Please look out for email communications about this.
