Our philosophy of learning and teaching, our understanding of teaching for Foundation years and CCCU policies and strategies have all influenced our specific approach to learning and teaching for the Foundation year. Our teaching methods have been developed with explicit attention to debates pertaining to student learning styles. As such, our teaching methods provide a framework via which students develop the capacity to manage their own learning and evolve, over the course of their studies, into independent learners, acquiring the knowledge, understanding and skills that are essential to learning in Higher Education and to lifelong learning, post-graduation.
