Assignments are usually based on real workplace issues. This may involve researching or implementing a work-based change or development and receiving feedback from it. You have the support of our staff and your peers, as you complete these projects.
For some modules, you need a workplace supervisor or manager to support you. You organise this before beginning the course.
