Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Teaching will be delivered via a combination of lectures, tutorials and workshops. Assessment comprises a report (project proposal) weighted at 25% and an online presentation, weighted at 75%. 

Students will be supported academically by an academic supervisor and a workplace mentor, normally a senior colleague, or line manager, identified by the Student. Mentors will be sent a programme handbook detailing their responsibilities and they will be required to sign the learner’s learning contract. Mentors will also be invited to attend an online session explaining the module, their role and what is expected of the student at the beginning of the programme. Academic mentors will be appointed by the module leader and students will have access to them using the MyTutor booking system and this support will be delivered via MS Teams. In addition, students will be allocated a personal tutor who will be the point of contact in the event of complaints, grievances and appeals and these will follow standard university procedures.
