Module Aims
1. To assist students to make informed decisions regarding their vocational preferences by integrating academic learning and work-based learning.
2. To develop the student’s range of work-based skills with the necessary underpinning knowledge for effective practice in a vocational setting.
3. To integrate student learning at university into the student placement learning.
4. To facilitate students’ ability to, work on their own initiative and in a team, and to work within an appropriate ethical environment.
5. To help students begin working systematically to develop those skills, attitudes and qualities required in their preferred workplace activity.
Content Summary
This module takes place throughout the academic year. It provides an opportunity for students to develop further the many
skills and qualities that are required for employment, and to put
these skills into operation at a standard commensurate with Level 6 study, in the form of work experience (for example, critical, analytical, organisational, application, creativity, communication and interpersonal skills).
Clear links between theory and practice will be embedded to ensure students recognise the link between the theoretical learning in the university and the application of this learning in the workplace. This will ensure an educational experience grounded in practical examples from the workplace.
A minimum of 100 hours in the placement must be completed during the year. Such workplace experience will enable the student, with the guidance of a mentor at the placement, to highlight areas for skills development during the placement and ensure professional development relating to their career is in place. QAA Placement guidelines will underpin the processes and procedures for all placements.
