Teaching Approach and Assessment

Within the educational philosophy of the course, students will meet a range of learning strategies appropriate to the learning outcomes. Combining these strategies during their study will provide students with the opportunity to develop an investigative, independent and individualised approach to learning, and lay the foundation to their further study and future careers.

The Course seeks to ensure that the student learns actively and effectively, whether by formal tutorcentred methods, group activities, practical
workshops or individual study. Students will also develop a range of key skills throughout the course.

Generally course material will be delivered by instructional lectures whilst associated tutorials and workshop/practical activities are used to
enhance the subject knowledge and skills. The hours associated with each module depend on the module content and type but typically a module would comprise 5 hours per week lecture/tutorial/ workshop. A gradual emphasis on guided and self-directed study, supported by a strong tutorial/workshop programme is a feature of the course. Teaching and learning strategies will include whole class activities and small group activities. An important aim is to support the students in developing skills of independent study and research, critical to success at degree level.

International Foundation Programme

Azad University (IR) in Oxford offers a choice between two international foundation programmes:

(1) the International Foundation Certificate (IFC) which has been especially designed for students interested in Engineering, Computer Science and Art & Design

and (2) the International Foundation Programme (IFP) which is designed for students interested in the Social Sciences and particularly fields such as business studies.

All students on the Foundation will follow a general course of study. The Foundation students will select a specialty within the program to be prepared in their chosen undergraduate degree programme.

This is a new initiative offering a combined course for students who wish to study at university in the UK. While improving their English to university entrance level, commonly an IELTS score of 6.0 or 6.5, students will be given a sound foundation upon which to base their continuing undergraduate education.

The aim of the course is to prepare students for undergraduate study by developing their English language and study skills, and increasing their knowledge of their main academic subject and other related subject areas.

Currently, Azad university (IR) in Oxford is offering the science pathway of the International Foundation in collaboration with Kingston. The social science pathway will be on offer by 2009-2010.

By the end of the course, participants:

will have an increased knowledge of their subject area and of related subjects in preparation for future study.
will have developed academic study skills and habits that will help them succeed in their undergraduate studies.
will have improved their general and academic English skills.
will have acquired an understanding of the conventions and the study culture of British universities.
