Attendance and academic engagement
The more you engage with your live teaching and online learning materials, the more likely you are to improve your English Language skills and successfully progress to your degree programme. All students are expected to follow the University's Code of Practice on Student Attendance and Reasonable Diligence which sets out the expectations for attendance and academic engagement.
