Teaching and learning

Our blended teaching and learning approach means we are prepared and can respond to any changes in COVID-19 alert levels, quickly.

Exams, assessments and impaired performance

Our academic teaching teams have reduced the number of examinations as much as possible. Many assessments have been re-designated as assignments or have been moved to in-class tests. However, there are still some assessments requiring exam-like arrangements and these will be conducted online.

We recognise COVID-19 has impacted nearly every component of daily life and will mark your assessments this semester accordingly. Your college will be in touch with more specific details about your programme.  

• Exams and assessments
• Impaired performance considerations

If you’re needing any support with technology, the Technology Assistance Programme may be able to help.

Online learning support

Distance students

Online delivery of your courses should continue largely unaffected. However, if you need support, please don’t hesitate to contact the university.
