Similarly, learning is seen as a three way partnership between yourself, your fellow colleagues and the academic staff here at the School. Programmes are taught via a mixture of seminars, traditional lectures, group work and skills based exercises. Case studies are used extensively, and are designed to provide students with practical examples of 'real' work based situations.
A number of our programmes also provide students with work placement opportunities, utilise guest speakers, as well as encouraging students to develop practical entrepreneurial skills.
The Business School has a dedicated student social programme which facilitates social integration outside of the formal classroom setting, alongside providing the opportunity to explore the North East region.
