The approach differed in many ways. We were the last year that did not have block teaching yet, but we worked in semesters as we know it in the Czech Republic. Subsequent years would have two blocks out of our semester, ending with curiculum or tests that replace midterms as we know them from home.
But the main difference was in the approach to the students. For the first time in my time at Univezrit, I felt that someone was genuinely interested in my studies and was there to teach me something. Teachers were helpful, supportive, reachable by email within hours to two days.
The quality of the teaching was not that much higher than in the Czech Republic, with the exception of one course with an external tutor, but the approach of the tutors was much more pleasant and effective. There is more work with directed discussion with students in seminars, which are also conducted in smaller groups. A lot of the classes are split into a large theoretical lecture and then split over several days into seminar groups with smaller numbers of students.
On the other hand, as perfect as the attitude of the academics was, the attitude of the support staff was terrible. The problem took a long time to sort out (non-functioning door card and over a month of work). The clearly defined problem was either downplayed and comforted in the British way with "everithing is ok darling" or they didn't acknowledge the clearly defined problem and tried to pretend it didn't exist. This cannot be blamed on the staff as such for their inadequacy, but is rather a collision with the British approach to dealing with puerile problems, where problems are better left unnamed.
