What does a typical Change Makers class include?

Change Makers Logo

  • Social time - opportunities for you to catch up with your classmates about your week, your studies and life beyond
  • Teacher-led discussion and activity - the whole class comes together to complete work together, discuss assignment briefs, plan our time together and give each other feedback
  • Student-led activity - team rooms, discussion and quiet work rooms are used to give you the opportunity to work collaboratively, complete your own work and share ideas with each other
  • 1-to-1 time - there are always private rooms for individual discussions with your teacher - or for private chats with another student
  • On demand video demonstrations, briefings and Q&A - key moments from class are recorded and made available on demand so that you can review briefings, demonstrations and also the really important questions that you ask in class, in your own time
  • Mix and Match Hours - there are additional classroom hours from 8-9am to give the opportunity to ask you teachers questions, meet up with your classmates, get extra feedback, or even chat with students from other modules.

Online Handbook

Our student handbook is completely online and searchable to help you get the information you need. The Change Makers Handbook introduces students to our modules and the practicalities of studying, including an introduction to our Virtual Classroom – which is used whether we meet on campus or online.

Feedback from Change Makers Students:

"An actively engaging module that isn't your 'conventional' module. The teacher did a fantastic job with the remote collaboration and you will learn so much from others through their stories, ideas and experiences. It is definitely a highlight of my time here and I am sad it has come to an end. The teacher was fantastic, always pushing and supporting us. Just pick it, you will learn alot - not just from others but yourself."
"This has by far been the best Horizons module I have taken at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø! It has been exciting, fascinating and lots of fun, despite the challenges of remote learning. The 'unconventional' structure of the module encourages teamwork, discussion and engagement and is a really enjoyable break from the lectures and coursework in the rest of our degree."
