How You Learn
This course is 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.
You'll be taught by industry experts and active researchers in a supportive and inclusive environment. We'll also help you to apply your new skills and behaviours to your place of work. You will learn through six modules delivered per academic year, split into two modules per 10 week teaching block. The distance learning for each module will take place over 4 weeks, with the 5th week containing three on-campus study days. Distance learning strategies include online lectures, short video content, guided reading, independent study, tutorial questions with worked solutions, weekly online group sessions, and collaborative online workshops. On-campus strategies focus on hands-on lab or workshop projects, lectures, seminars with peer collaboration, support sessions, and breakout activities. Teaching will include online lectures and tutorials, work-based projects, problem-solving exercises, class discussions/debates, presentations by subject matter experts and peers, group activities and independent study.
All years of the course are structured around applied learning. This links your studies to real-world situations within your workplace.
