Modules
In more detail...
This International Year One will be delivered by CU, part of the Coventry University Group, for and on behalf of Coventry University. You will be taught using various approaches, which may include lessons and individual and group tutorials. You will also have self-study materials to follow outside of the classroom.
Each module requires the equivalent of between 225 and 300 study hours. They run over six weeks and are taught consecutively, with a combination of assessments in each six-week block.
You will receive approximately 18 hours of guided learning per week. This will combine face-to-face teaching and online, blended learning support alongside regular small group or individual tutorials. The remaining hours required for the module will be self-guided.*
The university may deliver certain contact hours and assessments via emerging online technologies and methods across all courses. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are prepared for courses due to start in or after the 2020/2021 academic year to be delivered in a variety of forms. The form of delivery will be determined in accordance with Government and Public Health guidance. Whether on campus or online, our key priority is staff and student safety.
Due to the ongoing restrictions relating to Covid-19, some facilities (including some teaching and learning spaces) and some non-academic offerings (particularly in relation to international experiences) may vary from those advertised and may have reduced availability or restrictions on their use.
*We have set out the typical teaching contact hours that you will receive on this course. Teaching contact hours will vary in different semesters/blocks and years of study and may vary due to module selection (if applicable).
In addition to the contact hours detailed, we offer the opportunity to attend additional optional sessions or to meet with staff during their advice and feedback hours.
You will be assessed on the Academic Language and Skills for University Study module of the International Year One through a combination of continuous, formative and final assessments.
The learning outcomes of modules, assignments and projects will be clearly stated. Your work will be marked according to how well you achieve these learning outcomes and will be given a score, and your final feedback will refer to each outcome and provide an overall score.
For the subject-specialist modules assessment methods vary and include practice assessments, written practical reports, oral presentations, tutorial tasks, and assessments in week three and week six of each six-week block.
The Coventry University Group assessment strategy ensures that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards achieving the intended learning outcomes.
On successful completion of your modules, including the subject-specific modules, you will have had the opportunity to:
- Understand approaches to learning in UK universities and expectations in your chosen subject area.
- Write an extended piece of academic writing that requires elements of research and follows standard academic conventions
