Teaching
Each department, school and institute has its own academic community, dedicated to advancing knowledge in particular subject areas. They often work together on teaching joint or general education courses as well as interdisciplinary research projects. Basically the student is at the centre of the education provided by Brac University. Teachers are usually ready to provide support in terms of pedagogy and make themselves available to help the students in their creative thinking and to innovate.
Teaching style and learning formats at Brac University
By utilizing high quality, focused, and shorter than taught courses that many other universities teach, a BracU graduate course facilitates students' swift career progression. This is achieved in part through the close working relationships between supervisors and students utilizing teaching methodologies of small group teaching.
Teaching styles, formats and frequency of contact with faculty varies from course to course. All advanced courses require the student to take on a significant amount of case based study and this will normally be alongside a framework of seminars, workshops and lectures where students analyse and present to given problems and assignments.
