Studying at SSB
Learn and Lead
SSB programs are different to those at other institutions. Our researchers and teachers offer tailor-made, relevant, contemporary, and innovative courses which challenge a student’s perspective and drives their curiosity.
The SSB does not use traditional teaching methods. There are no large lecture theatres, no large text-based tutorials, and there are no textbook-based courses. The School’s study program uses a blend of technology and delivery methods to focus on individual-paced learning within small study teams which are led by learning mentors. This non-traditional study method blends current content with recent research outcomes in courses. This program design delivers education according to our Learning Experience Standards.
Learning Mentors
The SSB employs researchers who become the School’s “Learning Mentors”. Mentors lead study teams to apply the knowledge they have encountered through the pre-recorded lectures, online study documentaries, and reading material. The Learning Mentor is the facilitator of the learning experience.
Tailor-Made Learning
The SSB has developed a tailored learning experience model which sets pre-defined levels of proficiency for each student in a topic before they can move on to the next topic. This enables each student to learn at their own pace and then to test their acquired skills during study sessions. Learning Mentors lead the study sessions using recent research outcomes to lead the discussion.
