Teaching and assessment for Economics with French MA (Hons)

Teaching

Our degrees are taught using a variety of methods including:

lectures
workshops
tutorials
statistics sessions

You will learn to study independently to broaden and deepen your understanding of the issues covered in the teaching.

There are industry guest lectures which you are encouraged to attend.

The French modules in first and second year have four hours of tutorials each week. In third and fourth year this changes to two hours of language tutorial each week, plus 10 hours of lectures/seminars on French film, culture, and society across the year.

In addition to language classes, you must attend regular film screenings or make appropriate alternative arrangements for viewing the films studied on the course.

The University of Dundee School of Business is committed to providing students with an exciting, meaningful, and interactive learning experience taking advantage of traditional and leading-edge learning technologies. This hybrid approach to education delivery, which includes both in-person and online material, has been adopted globally by top universities.

Our approach is flexible, attempting to meet the needs of all our domestic and international students. Moreover, our students are assured of an on-campus learning experience for all modules supplemented and complemented by state-of-the-art Cloud technology. A major advantage of ‘hybrid teaching’ is that it allows popular classes to remain small so that meaningful discussion and engagement between students and academics can occur.

Assessment

Assessments can be in the form of:

essays
problem-based exercises
case studies
presentations
group projects
exams.

All of these will provide the basis for your final grade.
