How you'll learn

You will learn through a mixture of lectures, tutorials, practical and lab sessions, and independent study. We also use a virtual learning environment (Moodle®) to supplement your learning journey.

This programme also incorporates a major project in the final year. This allows you to demonstrate your ability to organise and carry out a substantial piece of work linked to data science and artificial intelligence.

    Guided independent study

    When not attending timetabled lectures you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This will typically involve reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, undertaking coursework assignments and presentations, and preparing for exams. Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities including online resources, the library and Moodle.

    Academic support

    If you need a bit of extra help with certain skills such as academic writing, English, maths or statistics, our Academic Tutors offer workshops, drop-in sessions and one-to-one appointments to help our students achieve their potential. You can receive advice and guidance on all aspects of the IT systems provided by the university from our IT Service Desks located on all three campuses. 

    Our Student Support hubs in Docklands and Stratford feature centralised helpdesks to cater to your every need. UEL provides support and advice for disabled students and those with specific learning difficulties (SPDs).

    Dedicated personal tutor

    Students are supported with any academic or subject-related queries by an Academic Advisor, module leaders, and former and current UEL students.

    Workload

    Your overall workload consists of class and online tutor-led sessions, individual learning, and practical activities.

    Your timetable

    Your individualised timetable is normally available to students within 48 hours of enrolment. Whilst we make every effort to ensure timetables are as student-friendly as possible, scheduled teaching can take place on any day of the week between 9.00am and 6.00pm. For undergraduate students, Wednesday afternoons are normally reserved for sports and cultural activities, but there may be occasions when this is not possible. Timetables for part-time students will depend on the modules selected.

    Class sizes

    The size of classes can vary depending on the nature of the course, module and activity. This can range from large groups in a lecture theatre setting, to smaller groups taking part in seminars and collaborative work. You will receive your personalised timetable at the beginning of the academic year depending on your course.

How you'll be assessed

Assessments will be via: 

  • examinations (in-class and at end of year)
  • case study analysis 
  • portfolio collation
  • individual/group reports 
  • group assessments 
  • presentations

Feedback is provided within 15 working days in line with UEL's assessment and feedback policy.
