Varsity College Degrees

Lecturers are further equipped via a support system of ongoing peer reviews, skills development workshops and Academic Development Coordinators, who keep staff up to speed on the best teaching methods.

SMALL CLASSES, BIG ACADEMIC BENEFITS

Another key aspect of our academic approach is the small size of our classes – on average 40 to 50 students per lecture venue. This inviting learning environment encourages students to ask questions, formulate arguments, express opinions and develop a relationship with lecturers. How many students have the confidence to do that in a daunting 500-seater auditorium typical of traditional tertiary institutions?

PERSONALLY WATCHING OUT FOR YOU

At Varsity College, every student’s academic progress is monitored by a Programme Co-ordinator who’s there to provide support should you encounter difficulties. Continual informal assessment by lecturers also helps students identify weak areas of understanding and keep up to speed. We’ve put these personalised measures in place to make sure that nothing stands in the way of your success.

PUTTING THEORY INTO PRACTICE

Many Varsity College programmes provide students with the opportunity to step out of the lecture theatre and experience the reality of their chosen field – whether simulated or actually in the workplace. Lecturers provide support throughout this process, and it’s not uncommon for students to find a permanent position at the placement company on completion of their studies.

CONNECTED, WITH CUTTING-EDGE FACILITIES

Varsity College takes full advantage of the latest technological developments and innovations in taking our students’ learning experience to the next level. Increasingly, lecturers use the likes of touchscreens and multimedia content as teaching aids, while email, SMS and social media provide greater academic support outside lecture halls.
