Our methods
Face-to-face
The traditional-style, and most likely what you will be expecting when arriving at Essex. At Essex, we pride ourselves on being a campus-based University. We offer alternatives for those that need it, but we believe your course is only one part of the transformational educations you'll receive when studying with us. And why wouldn't we, with the stunning campuses we have at Colchester, Southend and Loughton.
We use a range of different styles and methods when teaching face-to-face, from teaching in large groups such as lectures and seminars, to smaller group learning and more student-led and active sessions also. Each of our departments have incredible facilities to ensure you have the best learning experience whilst on campus and achieve our goal of giving you a research-led education.
Dual-delivery - face-to-face and online learning
When the new academic year starts in October, we’ll be using a dual-delivery approach for all of our courses. This approach blends face-to face learning, tutorials and group work with a range of virtual lectures and other online activities.
The most important thing about dual-delivery is that it’s based around our transformational face-to-face learning experience, with students working in small groups to gain all the benefits of an Essex education. But dual-delivery also means we can enhance this experience with the latest digital learning tools and techniques.
It puts our students at the heart of our thinking and provides lots of different ways for them to discuss, debate and tackle key issues together. It also gives us a built in way to move to off-campus delivery at any point during the year, which means less disruption and ensures our students’ wellbeing, whatever the circumstances. This is not an online degree, but a way for us to deliver teaching that will ensure the continuity of education for all students.
