Overview
A phased approach, consisting of a series of lectures, facilitated workshops and work-related projects will be used to ensure the programme is relevant, engaging and enjoyable. The teaching methods on the programme will be intensively interactive, with an action learning focus and use of live case studies to build solutions to work place challenges.
Rather than an exclusively lecture-style approach, the emphasis in class will be on lecturer-led group discussion and class debate, which will draw upon the experiences of students to illustrate key learning points and to bring concepts, theories and frameworks to life. This practical, applied approach to teaching methodology, will be underpinned by assessment instruments, and the practical application of best-practice theory to analyse the environment in which the learners work.
