Active Learning

Learning is at the centre of UCU education. Teaching is supposed to facilitate learning. The small-scale and interactive class format creates optimal opportunity for learning. Students write papers, give presentations, lead discussions about reading materials, engage in debate, work on assignments in small groups, analyze data and so on. They receive feedback on their work in order to improve their academic skills and levels of understanding.

In addition to these classroom activities you read course books and other materials and take examinations. Studying at UCU requires good planning; you have four classes every semester and each has deadlines for reading assignments, presentations and papers. Every student has a personal tutor available for help if you encounter problems in study planning.
