Teaching, Learning and Assessment Methods

Knowledge and understanding are gained and developed through engagement with the study materials which are provided online. Learning outcomes are assessed primarily using tutor-marked assignments (TMAs), which provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of methodological themes.

Cognitive skills: you will learn to understand the methodologies and approaches taken by others to the study of the humanities, and you will be asked to evaluate some of these in assignments.

Practical and professional skills: the formation of arguments and the employment of critical and evaluative skills are taught and assessed in each of the Part 1 modules. The use of research libraries and other research tools is also taught in each of these modules.

Key skills are developed progressively throughout your study, in relatively brief, structured assignments (typically 2000 words), and in the examination.

攻读人文学科研究生证书课程将为您提供一个机会，让您巩固本科阶段所获得的技能。它将进一步培养您阅读和分析大量书面材料的能力，并提高您将学习期间获得的知识转化为清晰的书面答复的能力。这些可转移技能在公共和私营部门的许多领域都很受欢迎，例如广告、营销和公共关系；教育、慈善和发展；或政府和公共管理。

完成证书本身将为您带来有价值的资格，并且您还可以将学分计入我们的硕士学位之一，只要您考虑到独特的学习规则。
