• Inform your learning and teaching practice through consideration of wider contextual policy, strategy and quality considerations.
• Engage effectively with research and scholarship in your subject discipline.
• Develop transferable skills, and professional skills and attributes. You’ll use a range of self, peer and student evaluation techniques to monitor your own learning and teaching practice and to underpin your reflective practice.
• Produce a Professional Reflection, which records and plans further personal and professional development, and takes responsibility for the continued development of your own learning.
• Enjoy Flexibility – studying at our online campus gives you the opportunity to work at your own pace and around your other commitments, within given deadlines, and at your preferred time of day, with the benefit of our expertise, experience and employability focus.
• Our programmes will save you the time and money on commuting to and from campus and allow you to study anywhere, across devices. However you can be reassured that the course won’t be compromised on quality or be less demanding than our on campus courses.

You’ll be provided with all learning materials, including guidance for each module, ebook core texts, podcasts, presentations, articles to read, a discussion board and a wiki.
