Question index

Off-campus teaching refers to formal learning opportunities that take place outside of University owned facilities (e.g. fieldwork / trips, placements and study abroad).

This section aims to ensure that all off campus experiences are available to all students as far as possible. While offering many worthwhile learning opportunities, off campus teaching can raise accessibility issues, and where there is an off-campus element, whether optional or compulsory, it is important to consider possible barriers that may arise, and to reflect on ways of ensuring that the learning opportunity is accessible to all students.

For more see TIC: Off-Campus Teaching

Note: There is a separate section to look at placements.
