Innovative Block Teaching Method

Innovative Block Teaching Method

DMU is one of the few UK universities to offer "block teaching," where you study one module at a time rather than juggling multiple subjects. This approach results in a simpler timetable, regular assessments, and a better study-life balance. Students often report deeper learning and stronger community bonds through this focused structure.
