2. A broad range of approved modules from the fields of natural and social science and the humanities
3. A range of teaching methods, including lectures, seminars (in groups no larger than 15), tutorials (in groups 2-5) and one-to-one sessions
4. Laboratory based study where appropriate
5. Innovative teaching employing a range of pedagogical styles and modern ICT resources
6. A virtual learning environment
7. Utilisation of University of Warwick facilities, with at least 15% of all teaching time spent at the University of Warwick with partner-provided tutors teaching on-site
