Throughout the course, there is an emphasis on supporting you to critically reflect on how the theory and research which you engage with might influence your own current and/or future practice. This helps to ensure that the learning you undertake through this programme has a 'real world' impact.

The focus of assessments undertaken during the course has been particularly designed to be relevant to the needs and interests of individual students, with an emphasis on the interaction between theory and practice.

You will be assessed through the successful completion of the one online masters-level module: introduction to teaching, learning and assessment.
