Through the programme, you will visit London's museums, commerce and lifestyle sites alongside less well-known sites, off the 'tourist trail'. Exploring contemporary debates on urban living, you will see London with your own eyes, using your own cultural understanding and lived experience. You will understand how business and culture drive creative and academic knowledge. This module will develop your critical thinking, analytical skills, and practical confidence to explore. During the module, you will develop your critical thinking skills through tasks such as text analysis and in-session group discussion tasks, and the ability to construct coherent academic assignments, including written essays and presentation work. You will become familiar with referencing methods, academic integrity, tone and register. You will be guided in assignment organisation, structure, style and content. The module has been carefully designed to support the success of all learners, regardless of your background or prior experience. Key strategies include: Site Visits: Site visits will develop your critical analysis, observational skills, and everyday english language skills within practical scenarios. Reflective Practice: Reflective exercises will encourage your critical thinking and research skills in relation to London and your subject. Collaborative Learning: Group activities, in-class workshops, including peer debate and individual case study will engage with diverse perspectives on relevant contemporary topics. We understand that everyone’s international academic journey is unique and you may want a little extra support to help you thrive. This module ensures that you feel ready for the demands of university study and helps you to feel at home in the University of Roehampton and London more broadly. It has been specifically designed to develop the drive and curiosity to excel in study in the UK. Led by the School of Continuing Education, the module is taught by experienced tutors, specialising in international education. By the end of this module, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to navigate both your future undergraduate study and London as a city, with critical and reflective thinking and renewed spoken English language skills and confidence.
