Module Details

Your study will include up to four elements:

  • Learning Management: You'll set out a plan to shape your learning, and prepare for the research reports you'll produce.
  • Recognition of Prior Learning. You can bring up to 120 credits of the 180 you need from your existing learning, such as a PgCert in a relevant subject, on-the-job training, or relevant experience in your career. 
  • Work-based learning (WBL) projects. Most of your new learning will be done through WBL projects, where you’ll practise new skills and develop your knowledge alongside your current role. These projects won't involve activities you do in your day-to-day job, as they need to involve new learning for you - but they will be relevant to your career, and your own professional development here can support the goals and objectives of your organisation.
  • Learning modules. You can also study in a more formally-structured manner by joining in with the university’s academic modules.
