What will I learn?
Industry placement, field trips and guest speakers
There is no work placement as part of this course; however you may wish to contact your chosen university and check if work experience or voluntary work in the education sector is a requirement for their degree programme.
This would need to be done in your own time as no time allowance would be given as part of this course.
How will I learn?
We recognise that students have different preferred learning methods so the programme employs a variety of teaching techniques to provide a stimulating and dynamic learning environment. These might include: Interactive lectures, seminars, group-based activities, research projects, remote learning and presentations.
Classroom time is 340 hours over the year which equates to 10 hours a week. We would expect private study time (research/background reading/creation of drafts and final reports) to take an extra 10 hours a week.
The course is held over 2 days a week on Monday/Tuesday.
Expert tutors
All staff involved in the delivery of adult education courses within the College are approved to teach the subjects and modules they deliver.
