This Skills Week is followed by blended teaching consisting of an additional 10 days of face to face and 12 weeks of online teaching, in a variety of formats, providing flexibility for students and academic staff.

Lecturers may be required to deliver a combination of in-person teaching, providing feedback on coursework submissions, general student administration, conducting oral assessments and otherwise mentoring students during the course, across all subject areas.
