Learning Delivery

Your students, and employers in their respective industries, are increasingly looking for short-term, high-impact learning. They seek their own tailored educational pathway that is delivered flexibly, but produces the same respected, enviable qualification as a traditional face-to-face degree from Queen Mary.

Our wide-ranging virtual offering will be a portfolio of pay-as-you-go stackable pathways (some academic credit-bearing and some carrying alternative credentials), which can be delivered fully online or blended with in-person teaching:

• Project cases (short taster courses)
• Open short courses such as MOOCs (massive open online courses)
• Professional certificates and specialisation courses
• Closed short courses (these are not for academic credit)
• Micro credentials (such as PGCerts and PGDips)
• Degree courses
• CPD (continuing professional development)
• ExecEd (executive education)

By developing such a diverse range of learning programmes, we are able to take advantage of the rapidly evolving nature of education and cater to people who may not previously have been able to access teaching from Queen Mary. By moving away from our entrenched teaching habits to create an offering that reflects this, both we and our student community will reap the benefits. MOOCs, for example, represent a fast-growing global market in which our university is well-placed to become a key player. 

As teaching staff, your learning delivery will be supported by a dedicated student support system. This will drive retention and course completion by ensuring access to the resources students need to succeed, whether this is a conversation with an empathetic tutor, or self-service writing and referencing guidance. This support is driven by data, both to pre-empt withdrawal and to ensure students are able to make the most of their personalised learning experience.
