What do the teaching blocks (TB) mean?
Students will be offered a blended educational experience with a mix of in person and online teaching. The in person teaching will consist of small group work, laboratory practicals and field work/alternative activities. To achieve the intended learning outcomes across the programme and to satisfy any accreditation requirements, students will be expected to undertake some in person teaching. Where this is not possible, students will be asked to contact their School to discuss arrangements.
The following units are must pass: GEOG10002, GEOG10003, and GEOG10004. The definition of must pass units can be found in the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes Glossary of Terms.
