Learning and Teaching Strategy 2009-2013
Empower students through knowledge, qualities and skills
It is our institutional priority to:
Empower our students through academic
knowledge, graduate qualities and skills that are vital for their future
success
The University of Essex student experience is not confined to academic
performance, but is about
developing independence, experiencing a different cultural and social
environment,
and preparing to enter or return to working life. Qualities developed, such
as analytical and critical ability,
independent judgement, research, organisational and communication skills,
are highly valued by employers. Our aim is to increase opportunities
available beyond the lecture hall, including volunteering, part-time work,
placements, and other employment-focused activities and events, equipping
students with improved skills for life and the workplace or progression to
higher
study.
