Styles of learning and assessment
The programme lays particular emphasis on reflective practice, as a key element in developing professional self-awareness, challenging your own thinking and assumptions and informing your future decisions and actions.
Action learning sets, tutorials and work-based assignments - completed between modules - are an integral part of the programme and used to follow up ideas and theories introduced in the classroom sessions. There are four pieces of assessment connected to the programme's taught modules, plus the final research project and dissertation. These are designed to enable you to develop and apply your leadership and management skills in a practical way back in your organisation.
