Here we provide information and guidance to you on the key academic contacts that you will come into contact with during your studies.
This ranges from academic staff who teach and deliver your programme to professional support staff here to support you throughout your learning journey.
Every programme at the University has a Programme Leader. Programme Leaders are ultimately responsible for the management and assessment of the programme from start to finish.
Programme Leaders are academics themselves who are responsible for the learning and teaching alongside the assessment methodology of the programme. Programme Leaders also actively teach modules on the programme as well as act as a conduit between students and internal/external bodies.

Every programme at the University is made up of modules, and every module has a Module Leader. Module Leaders are responsible for the delivery of individual modules and will actively teach the module through the semesters that the module runs.
Module Leaders are here to support students studying the module by delivering the module, creating engaging canvas spaces, and engaging with students to assist with learning and teaching objectives.
