Block teaching designed around you

At 91Ó°ÊÓ, it’s our aim to help every student reach their goal, and you deserve a positive teaching and learning experience. With this in mind, the majority of our undergraduate and postgraduate students will get to enjoy an innovative approach to learning, known as ‘Education 2030’ using block teaching.

This allows you to focus on one subject at a time, instead of several at once, with more regular assessments and a better study‑life balance. 91Ó°ÊÓ is one of the few universities in the country to offer the block teaching method.
