You will be taught using a combination of the
following:
- small group sessions
- live lectures
- online training
The small group sessions in particular will have a strong
emphasis on student-centered learning. This means many of the
classes will include practical skills sessions in which you will
actually do the work of a finance professional rather than just
talk about it!
A shared feature across all modules is the systematic use of
financial modelling and simulation and the routine use of tutor and
peer evaluation.
Whole group sessions will typically be organised around a series
of short lectures, in combination with interactive activities such
as buzz groups.
Small group sessions will include seminars, workshops, lab classes
and Bloomberg sessions.
The standard ratio of whole-group sessions (WGS) and small-group
sessions (SGS) is 1:1, allowing for 90 minutes of WGS and 90
minutes of SGS in a typical week (per module).
In addition, you will have the opportunity to access some of the
live lectures in recordings via the Business School's online
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
