Aims
1. To provide students the opportunity to conduct a focused piece of critical independent work in an international context, under supervision, on an area congruent with the themes and substance of the Criminology programme.
2. To provide a vehicle for the improvement and development of a variety of transferable skills and abilities appropriate to the task in hand, from identification of appropriate topic/s through to the development of a study programme tailored to the needs of the student and the presentation of a clear, coherent and robust piece of reflective written work.
3. To encourage students to monitor and reflect critically on their own learning
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify a manageable topic, and design a plan of study, including a timetable, for an agreed programme of learning for virtual fieldwork experiences (VFE).
2.
Reflect upon and blog critically on own learning and experiences, including
experiences of carrying out research on an unfamiliar socio-cultural environment.
3.
Further develop study and research skills on a topic of interest not covered elsewhere in the programme through engagement with the relationships between the specific international case under investigation and wider issues of theory, method, policy or practice in an area within the rubric of criminology or critical criminology.
