Learning and Teaching Strategy 2010-2015

The Learning and Teaching Strategy of the Department of Law and Criminology builds upon the University's mission and aims for learning and teaching as outlined in its Learning and Teaching Strategy for 2007-2010, the University's E-learning policy and its Employability strategy, and upon the Department's previous Learning and Teaching Strategy.  The achievements under the previous departmental strategy are shown alongside the current plan.  The current departmental strategy, which has been approved by the Departmental Board on 26 January 2010, is the outcome of consultation within the Department, discussion in a teaching discussion seminar and in the Department's Learning and Teaching Committee.  It takes into account issues raised by students both via departmental channels and in the results of the annual National Student Surveys.

The strategy reflects the implementation of the institutional strategy in the specific context of the disciplines of law and criminology and takes into account evolving departmental imperatives and priorities.  It reflects the Department's ongoing commitment to excellence in all aspects of teaching, and its affirmation of the importance of research-led teaching.  Although itemised under a number of headings the overall approach is intended to be a holistic one with a focus on increasing student engagement and student-centred learning.
