Teaching strategies will be employed to reflect the diverse educational and
cultural backgrounds of the students that affect their educational orientation
and approach to studying. Emphasis will be on the process of learning as
well as outcome, ie how one learns in addition to what is learned. Students will
be encouraged to identify and define their individual objectives by developing a
questioning and self-analytical attitude to studying. This is particularly
important in the distance learner who is required to keep a high level of
motivation in the absence of face to face contact with course lecturers. |
"The MSc in Wound
Healing and Tissue Repair was an opportunity to study within a
multi-disciplinary group helping me to gain an understanding and
appreciation of the role of all members of the team.
The course not only
enhanced my professional development, but has enabled me to grow and
fulfil my potential.".
Zena Moore (Former MSc Student)
Lecturer
Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery

During the study blocks, a context for learning will be created with lectures
being the most prevalent teaching method of introduce module material and to
highlight contentious and complex points. The focus is not just toward formal
lectures but also interactive teaching strategies, such as group sessions,
debate and tutorials. Students will be encouraged to use these sessions for
problem exploration, discussion and the enhancement of inter-professional
understanding and teamwork.
The programme aims to give students the opportunity to take part in a
research-led, high-quality postgraduate programme where an evidence-based
approach to learning and teaching is employed. The Wound Healing Research Unit
has a worldwide reputation in the field of wound healing, and is fortunate that
students have access to Unit members and associates who have conducted leading
research in the field.
