Each year of the course identifies a particular stage of student
development. Beginning in year one as The Inquiring Student, the second-
year casts students as Emerging Practitioners before students become
Effective Graduates by the end of the course.

Extended induction periods at the beginning of key modules in Years One
and Three support student achievement through greater orientation to
course requirements and the establishment of student learning
syndicates, developing group cohesion and a sense of community. Two
further key aspects of course design supporting achievement are the
Personal and Professional Development (PDP) and Academic Skills &
Literacy (ALS) modules delivered in each year.

The Personal and Professional Development modules also contribute to
the development of student employability. Self-management and
empowering activities within these modules develop the values and skills
necessary to work effectively in models of service delivery that are
themselves empowering.

You will be taught through a variety of teaching methods – a mix of
lectures, seminars, workshops, and observation/field trips.
You’ll be assessed through group work, coursework, presentations, and
podcasts. All modules on the course will be assessed in English.
. We’re focused on a digital future and your degree plays an important part
in preparing for this, helping you to achieve your employability goals and
life ambitions.

We want to equip you with the key skills you need, enhancing your
employability and preparing you for the next steps in your career. Blended
working is now a permanent feature for many businesses globally and the
experience you will gain by studying through a blended learning model
will help you prepare for this, building your confidence ready for success in
the digital workplace.

The number of live contact hours that you have with your lecturers
remains the same:
● You will have timetabled sessions delivered face-to-face on-campus,
building relationships and engaging with your student community.
● You will have timetabled live online sessions that will allow you to
participate and ask questions throughout the session.
● Support services can be accessed remotely, and your campus is
open so you can book in and use campus facilities and services face-
to-face at a time that works for you, either on your timetabled on-
campus days or outside these times.

Our blended approach offers the best of both live online and on-campus
learning opportunities, and your blended timetables will typically follow
one of the below:

Daytime students – If you are a daytime student, you will typically have 2
days of tuition per week. Your sessions will be on-campus for 1 of those
days and the other day will take place live online.
