The course will enable you to develop competence, resilience and knowledge — allowing you to become a highly employable professional. How you learn: All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. At the beginning of their programme of study all participants will be offered induction and ongoing support sessions. Participants will be introduced to ways of accessing and making optimum use of ICT and Learning Centre support and resources, as well as other sources of student support. Three days of lectures and seminars, timed to correspond with arising participant need, support the introduction and design of the project, mid-review and pre-submission. Ongoing supervisory support allocated by specialism is provided. You learn through:
  • tutor-led seminars, workshops, participant-led activities, group and peer discussion, self-directed study, reading and reflection
  • digital resources including the Blackboard VLE which enables participants to interact with content covered in modules and to support peer learning
  • resources and support offered by Student Learning Services, including the Learning Centre.
  • work-based learning
Applied learning - Live projects You will be encouraged to establish an authoritative voice founded on a broad and deep knowledge base, drawing on theoretical and research literature, policy practice guidance and practitioner networks.
