Course outline
The educational aims of this programme are:

3. To ensure you have attained the prescribed level of interdisciplinary language competence.
The programme will be delivered using a combination of the following:

Lectures
This teaching method will deliver basic module material. Each module has 4 hours’ contact time per week, which is normally delivered in 2-hour blocks. No period of contact should exceed 50 minutes at one time without a minimum of a 10- minute break.
Tutorial
These sessions are held to help you prepare for specific topics. They also provide an easy atmosphere for you to interact with your classmates and build on each other’s knowledge and skills. For each module, there is a weekly one-hour tutorial session.
Self-directed study
You will be expected to undertake a minimum number of hours in individual study per week in order to support the skills, knowledge and understanding presented in each lecture and tutorial session. These hours are expected to increase as you approach formal assessments. The ability to expand your learning by creating effective self-directed study patterns is a transferable skill that is fundamental to academic success.
Formative assessment
This is a key aspect of the programme and is varied to ensure that you have a variety of learning opportunities. Types of individual and group formative assessment methods will include presentations, individual and group work, and peer review.
Resources
You will be provided with access to a range of online resources through the student portal, and electronic journals and books are available through the Brunel University e-resources gateway. Guest speakers from relevant industries may also provide additional perspectives.
