Learning & Teaching at LSST

 

Learning at LSST is designed to be inclusive, engaging and transformative, ensuring that every student, whatever their background, aspirations or starting point, has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Our educational approach places students at the centre, recognising them as active partners in their learning journey and creating motivating, barrier-free environments that support both academic success and personal growth. Through intellectually stimulating and professionally relevant learning experiences, we blend theory with real world application, promote active and collaborative learning, and offer extensive support for diverse learners. We also define clear graduate outcomes through our institutional framework of LSST Graduate Attributes, which outline the knowledge, skills and qualities that students develop during their studies and bring into their future careers.

Teaching at LSST is defined by passion, expertise and an unwavering commitment to student success. Our staff bring strong academic and professional experience, employ inclusive pedagogies and engage in continuous professional development to ensure a high quality learning experience across all campuses. We combine evidence informed teaching practices with technology enhanced learning, creating accessible, engaging and dynamic environments that support diverse learning needs. Rigorous quality assurance underpins every aspect of our provision, from peer observation and student feedback processes to external examiner oversight, ensuring teaching remains consistent, equitable and aligned with sector standards. Authentic, transparent and inclusive assessment practices further support student achievement by promoting deep learning and providing developmental feedback that helps students progress confidently through their academic journey.
