The Professional Practice Framework is designed to allow practitioners in work to study for a degree in their professional field. Depending upon their experience and aspirations individual officers, managers and support staff can achieve an undergraduate degree, postgraduate certificate/diploma or Masters in their own practice. The course is offered through a blended learning provision that does not require learners to take extensive time off work but provides full support for those who may not have studied in higher education before or for some time.

The evidence based and innovative curriculum allows each learner to individually design the content of their programme (with support from their own academic adviser) to suit their own needs.  It starts with a programme planning module and a review of the learning/skills and capabilities the practitioner has developed to date.  The learner will probably be able to make a claim for this learning already achieved ‘on the job’ and evidence that it should be ‘counted against’ a part of their degree. This can reduce the number of modules the learner needs to achieve in the remainder of their programme which can be made up of:

1) Modules chosen to cover a specific technical area or a management skills. Individual modules from all courses within the University.

2) A research project (with or without research methods training). This project work is designed by the learner to achieve real impact within their work role and bring value to both themselves and their department.

Assessment Style:The framework does not require essays or tests as assessments but concentrates on tasks which add value to the learner for example: an evidence portfolio for the review of learning or a project report for the final research module

Additionally the programme will allow opportunities for students to develop lifelong independent and reflective learning capabilities.

The specific aims of the programme are to:

  1. Provide a contemporary, critical, and integrated programme of study within the subject domains of business and management;
  2. Develop students’ ability to apply relevant bodies of management knowledge to specific business problems taking account of the interdependencies between the various areas and functions of businesses and organisations;
  3. Encourage and empower individuals to apply knowledge and understanding of business and management to complex issues, both systematically and creatively, to develop their business management practice;
  4. Promote students’ ability to discriminate between different research methods in order to evaluate, argue and debate alternative research approaches and make appropriate selections in conducting management and organisational research;
  5. Develop an understanding of sustainable and contemporary ethical approaches including issues in ethical due diligence, corporate social responsibility to business practice and procedures;
  6. Provide an environment that facilitates the development of systematic and independent thought and learning to promote critical appraisal and analysis of issues and information contributing to their development of lifelong independent learning skills that are applicable to the contemporary manager or leader.

These aims are embedded within the themes of sustainability, leadership, corporate social responsibility and probity.
