Delivery and assessment

Delivery

You will be expected to engage with the learning and the materials each week of the programme. You will be invited to attend two face-to-face sessions each semester. One will be at the start of a new module and one will be half-way through the module. For the remaining weeks, new material, case study discussions and class debates will be conducted in our online learning environment.

Assessment

All modules will have a range of assessments; these are tasks set to produce a variety of work appropriate to the module topic, which are graded and contribute to progression through the degree. Assessments include report writing, group activities and presentations and a portfolio will also be compiled over the length of the course which contributes to the apprentices' portfolio of evidence. The employer is expected to assign a workplace mentor who will monitor the development of the portfolio and meet with the apprentice and assessor to discuss progress.

In addition to the excellent support you will receive from your course teaching team, our central Academic Skills team provides group and one-to-one help to support your learning in a number of areas. These include study skills (including reading, note-taking and presentation skills); written English (including punctuation and grammatical accuracy); academic writing (including how to reference); research skills; critical thinking and understanding arguments; and revision, assessment and examination skills (including time management).
