A key feature of British higher education is the emphasis on independent study. Students are encouraged to research, read and write extensively outside formal classroom instruction. Courses are taught in modules which may include lectures, seminars, discussion groups and labs. Some courses, especially science, have extensive laboratory work. Students are expected to participate in group discussions, make written notes and revise their work outside of class.
