lectures/seminarsThe aim of our teaching is not to tell you the “correct” answer, but to explain the main points of a topic and encourage debate. This helps you to understand different arguments, make judgements about their merits and learn to analyse a topic critically.

Participation is an important part of the learning process and it is important to do some reading before each seminar, so that you can follow and contribute to the discussion.

Independent studyan important part of UK academic culture is independent study. This usually involves working on your own or in a small group to research a

topic and contribute to a seminar. Independent study is intended to develop skills such as critical analysis and problem-solving to develop your own ideas.

Group workMost of the pathways include group work designed to encourage team-working skills. as groups will include students from different countries, it is a good way of learning about working in a multi-cultural environment.

assessmentassessment for the majority of pathways consists of a presentation and/or an essay, to be submitted within two weeks of the end of the programme.

the methods used and the reasons for the construction of stonehenge are largely unknown and there are many theories about them, often called the “mystery of stonehenge”. It has been said that it would have taken 30 million man hours to complete. Proposed functions for the site include usage as an astronomical observatory, or as a religious site. other theories have advanced supernatural or symbolic explanations for the construction.

stonehenge is a place of pilgrimage for people following pagan and non-pagan beliefs, such as neo-druids. It is the location for annual festivals marking the summer and winter solstices.
