SEF Undergraduate Handbook 2025-26

All modules will be delivered as a blend of online material, a weekly live lecture on campus, and weekly small group classes.

Each week you will also be expected to engage with material and exercises posted on each module's QMplus page, which you can work through at your own pace, alongside the scheduled live activities. This online material will deliver the core module content. It is important that you follow this on a weekly basis so that you are able to participate in your live teaching activities.

The weekly live lecture activity with the module organiser will provide you with the opportunity for live interaction with the module organiser and other students on the module. Attendance at lectures is compulsory and your attendance will be monitored. Lecture sessions will be recorded and made available to watch on QMplus.

Classes will be held on campus in groups of up to 35 students.

Your class teacher may be the lecturer or another member of staff. The purpose of the classes is to follow up the lectures with discussion and to provide an opportunity to work through exercises or other module material. Attendance at these sessions is compulsory and they will not be recorded.

A few final year modules may have a single 3-hour lecture/seminar combined session instead of seperate lecture and class activities. These sessions will be recorded and made available on QMplus.

Both the lecturer and your class teacher will hold office hours and will be able to help you with any aspect of the module material. You can check the office hours on the module’s QMplus area.
