Module - Negotiated Learning (Level 6)

The Negotiated Learning module is an independent learning module explicitly designed to meet the needs of learners who are already working in a wide range of practice situations. This module requires students to undertake a literature review based on a topic of interest and also a reflection on the impact of the review on their practice. At the start of the module, a proposal detailing the intended topic for review, as well as your personal aims for the review, is submitted into Turnitin for approval by the module lead. Once approved, a supervisor is allocated to provide support with the study.
