Learning and TeachingStudents work on practical aspects of radio production including the challenges and routines of running a radio station as a simulated learning activity. Students participate in practical workshops and work collaboratively with other students on projects. Conventional lectures, seminars and tutorials are used, particularly for theoretical and research- based learning.
AssessmentThere are a variety of practical assessments including production logs, individual and collaborative projects and critical reflection upon practice. Students write extended essays, seminar papers for particular modules and assemble a professional portfolio. For the culmination of the programme, students develop their own research as a practical project or dissertation.
