Findings from our funded projects feed directly into improving our teaching and learning practices. This includes the enhancement of student outcomes, student experience, online teaching and learning, work-based learning and student employability.
Each year we summarise the findings from scholarship and innovation projects and share them with academics from the Faculty. This ensures that our teaching benefits from current, evidenced recommendations on the best ways to improve student success. It also assures the continuous development and enhancement of our modules.
