Exceptional teaching

Teaching at Northeastern University London comprises interactive lectures, seminars, and small group tutorials. Some of our courses are delivered through a high number of scheduled teaching or ‘contact’ hours, while others focus on smaller, more personalised, guided independent study, or hands-on or community-based projects. Most lectures and seminars will have around 20-30 student participants, while tutorials will typically have five or fewer students, and may sometimes be one-to-one. This personalised approach to teaching allows everyone to participate and thrive
