Structure and content
View the structure diagram (click to expand):
Modules take a blended learning approach using contact teaching days, structured learning making use of the University’s online learning platform, and self-directed private study.
The student groups are small and the class room sessions are delivered in a seminar style with a mixture of PowerPoint presentations, small group work activity and a high level of interaction between presenter and students.
Classroom sessions are led by University academics and researchers who are actively involved in the social work field; and by external practice subject experts. Their contribution enhances the contemporary relevance of the teaching and brings a critical perspective to the topics covered. This exchange of practice and knowledge expertise is replicated between teaching days through structured learning tasks, online discussion boards and peer assessment.
The online learning platform provides a wide range of learning resources that act as a starting point for self- directed study. This programme encourages a high level of reflection on students’ own practice; and application of learning to their roles and responsibilities.
