Teaching & Learning
Learning and Teaching Strategies
Teaching takes place through practical and theoretical classes, lectures, seminars, workshops, data analysis sessions, discussions, tutorials, industry, and community visits. The student learns through these and through individual and small group self‐managed activities, including resource‐based learning and online learning support through the VLE.
Teaching is linked directly with professional practice and research, both of which directly inform and enhance course content and delivery. Visiting professionals contribute to the course delivery with full-time staff and are vital to providing the student with access to current professional practices and issues developing student’s employability skills and knowledge.
Mont Rose College has a breadth of expertise within the team, all of whom complement their theory sessions with practical examples that are relevant to the student’s individual needs on the course.
Seminars and tutorials make up a supportive network, which is complemented by the virtual learning center. Whether at home or on campus, help is not far away.
