Skills for the global economy
The UK education style offers a personalised approach to help students to develop the intellectual skills and personal qualities they will need to succeed in their future life and career:
-
An analytical approach, encouraging critical thinking, helps students’ intellectual and career development. For example, when writing essays or undertaking projects during the course of their studies, students are expected to introduce original thought and not simply repeat what they have been told by their tutors.
-
Creative and analytical skills are essential to progress to problem-solving. These skills are actively encouraged and developed by means of the style of teaching in UK institutions.
Teaching methods are designed to develop independent thinking, interpersonal skills and confidence. The UK teaching and learning style is based upon deep subject learning through wide reading on the subject. This includes:
-
attending lectures with staff who have proved their ability through published research
-
critical thinking, questioning and analysis
-
discussing ideas and opinions with teachers and fellow students
-
contributing personal ideas in tutorials, seminars and teamwork
-
developing confidence and original thought
-
learning how to express themselves through essays, presentations and projects.
