TEACHING AND LEARNING
Students studying the BA (Hons) Law and Business degree will have access to multiple learning opportunities on every module, including face to face or online classes (with core and guest lecturers), seminars, access to recorded lectures, lecture notes and handouts, and directions to relevant essential and additional reading.
Class sizes encourage an interactive approach to learning and staff will typically engage students with key issue by drawing on case studies and their practice experiences in the legal or business field. Lectures will be organised around lecture inputs, quizzes, recorded video content, larger and small group discussions, and debates. When modules are primarily delivered online, recorded content will be available that replicates synchronous learning experiences and students will be involved in a range of online activities and discussions. Face to Face or video mediated appointments can be made with tutoring staff to discuss module content and assignments.
Wrexham University is committed to supporting our students to maximise their academic potential.
We offer workshops and support sessions in areas such as academic writing, effective note-making and preparing for assignments. Students can book appointments with academic skills tutors dedicated to helping deal with the practicalities of university work. Our student support section has more information on the help available.
In terms of particular needs, the University’s Inclusion Services can provide appropriate guidance and support should any students require reasonable adjustments to be made because of a recognised prevailing disability, medical condition, or specific learning difference.
