Networking and building relationships with likeminded people keen to share experience and knowledge

Challenging the norms – your chance to do your bit to improve the working lives of people

You will work with various tutors, each of whom has specialist experience in particular areas. You will have regular 1:1s with tutors about your progress. Your written work is assessed by a qualified assessor, and you will receive constructive feedback to help you develop your skills.

Each of the 4 modules will be assessed through an assignment focused on the learning outcomes for the module. Typically, around 2,500-3,000 words it could be a case study, a presentation with notes, some practical elements or written report.

You will need to be sure you can commit the time for independent study outside of taught sessions and that will vary depending on your level of knowledge, but you should expect to be able to commit to at least several hours a week outside class (more for assignment preparation) for your research.
