Academic support

Our excellent teaching and support teams will help you develop the skills relevant to your degree from research and practical skills to critical thinking. Our Sheppard Library is open 24 hours a day during term time. And we offer free 24-hour laptop loans with full desktop software, free printing and Wi-Fi to use on or off campus, even over the weekend.

The assessment strategy is designed to both facilitate and to assess learning. Assessment is authentic and relies on students having knowledge that is used in context and applied to the task. Biology is multidisciplinary so by means of such assessments, we enable students to acquire the skill of making connections and to develop their own holistic synthesis. Assessments are diverse and could include鈥痯ortfolios, presentations, laboratory reports, problem solving reports, case study analysis, essays and oral examinations.

To help you achieve the best results, we will provide regular feedback.
