    Teaching, learning and assessment

    Course tutors have both extensive experience in teaching specialist master's courses in business, marketing and computing and the advantage of industrial and commercial management experience. We maintain industrial links in a variety of ways, including consultancy, management of the Enterprise Centre, in-company training and through our student industrial placements.

    The course is delivered through a series of interactive workshops and seminars with additional lectures, guest speakers and industrial visits. The induction programme begins the week before the start of formal studies, introducing you to our teaching methods and explaining how you can gain maximum value from the course, including support on careers guidance. Assessment is based mainly upon individual and group assignments, examinations and the dissertation or business project. Students have access to dedicated research suites providing workspaces, computers and storage, and a range of supporting activities, such as seminars and a research methods programme.

    Teaching staff are drawn primarily from the Business School and the School of Technology; visiting speakers from business and industry provide further input. Teaching staff on the MSc in eMarketing are actively involved in research into e-commerce and web-based marketing.
