REALLY COUNTS

Benefit From Our Small Class Sizes

The courses at University Centre Peterborough are studied in small class sizes compared with other universities; a typical class size is under 30 students.

During our lectures and seminars, students can engage and interact with academic staff so all students understand the course content and build knowledge. There are opportunities to discuss and answer questions without any pressure. Compared to larger universities who may have lectures with over 100 students, the learning environment can be very different.

There are some courses where smaller classes are even more beneficial as you may need to be hands-on with recording equipment, require individual help in the science lab, use specialist technology to test sports performance or star in a drama production.

It’s Easy To Settle In

You won’t get nervous finding your way around campus and you certainly won’t get lost finding where your next seminar is. Our modern campus makes it easy to settle in and we ensure new students see all of the facilities during their induction and enrolment week. If you want to see the campus beforehand, book a personalised tour or come to one of our Open Events.

Make New Friends Straight Away

In small classes, you will quickly get to know your peers and group activities will give you opportunities to work together. As our courses are based on small campuses you will also get to know students on other courses.

Access to Support When You Need It

By the nature of us being a smaller institution, you can be reassured that our support team and your lecturers can give you the support you require. Our inclusive environment means that we use teaching, learning and assessment methods that suit all learners. You will find it helpful that you are dealing with familiar staff throughout the duration of your studies, and they will take the time to get to know you and understand your needs.

You Will Get Noticed

All students have an equal chance to stand out from the crowd and have their potential noticed. As our lecturing staff get to know you, they will let you know of work placement and employment opportunities that are most suitable for you.
