Learning outcomes

Methods of Teaching / Learning

The Learning and Teaching Strategy is designed to:

Enable you to develop an understanding of the biological concepts, processes, principles and mechanisms of the human body systems, as underpinning patient care delivery and clinical assessments.

The Learning and Teaching methods include:

• Pre-recorded Panopto Lecture 11 hrs 


• Group Seminar  22hrs


• Online Resources and Activities: Interactive Physiology On-line (Primal Pictures Software), Online Self-Directed Workbooks.


• Audiovisual Aid/Support


• Personal Tutorials

Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
