The University has pioneered Block and Blend teaching for undergraduate students, where students focus on one or two modules at a time, in intensive teaching blocks. This provides students with a richer learning experience, and increased depth in study across their programme.

Delivery is supported through a Blended approach, where students access instructionally designed learning resource materials and activities which scaffold learning across the virtual and physical learning environments and affords students the flexibility to take control of their learning.

“Results time can be a stressful period for people already anxious about their prospects,” said Prof Langton, “but almost every university will have Clearing pages on their websites detailing course vacancies and admissions hotlines with supportive staff on hand to help guide applicants through the process."

All Clearing courses are listed on the university website: www.uos.ac.uk
