Regeneration & Sustainable Communities - FdA/FdSc (Foundation Degree) part-time

The foundation degree in Regeneration and Sustainable Communities is a unique course designed for regeneration practitioners working in a wide range of contexts for developing sustainable communities. These include paid employees and community volunteers. Work‚ and the workplace‚ are broadly defined here to include voluntary and unpaid activity.

The course has a high degree of flexibility, making it perfectly suited to the lifestyle of the working practitioner or busy volunteer. The focus of study will be on actions to improve working practices using a fully online programme of inquiry-led learning delivered through online communities. Study on this course will enable improvements to the development of sustainable communities, and support your career development.

This tried-and-tested method has no examinations, but you will be encouraged to create reports in the way you find most comfortable. You will be supported and guided to recognise your working practice, think about its effectiveness and consider options to improve it. Progression through the programme should improve competency and build confidence. What you already know will count and provide a basis for what you learn.

You will join a community of other people involved in regeneration and sustainable communities and share knowledge and practice throughout the programme, helping each other to complete the course. The University will bring in experts on regeneration and sustainable communities for you to question and learn from their expertise.
