120 credits at level 3
This course provides an articulated progression route to a BA honours degree for students who have successfully completed a Foundation Degree (in any subject) or those who have equivalent and appropriate experience of study at higher education levels 1 And 2.
The course provides a programme of study which is in keeping with the demands of level 3 study and which promotes and encourages personal and professional growth and the acquisition and development of key managerial and analytical skills. The programme recognises the value of work-based learning and is designed to facilitate the integration of students’ workplace learning with a challenging academic programme of study which enables them to become more effective, independent and proactive in their professional role.
The flexible format of delivery is specifically tailored to enable students to combine their professional and work-based commitments with their studies on the course and considerable emphasis is placed on students applying and demonstrating their learning in the workplace. Although it is expected that students will normally be supported by an informal professional ‘mentor’ in the workplace (a suitably qualified and experienced professional work-based colleague) the academic guidance and support necessary for them to complete the course and maximise the effectiveness of their work-based learning will be provided by the Course Director, supported by a team of highly qualified and experienced tutors and dissertation supervisors. The course aims to embrace the diversity of the student cohort and seeks to maximise the learning benefits to be gained from inter-professional and inter-organisational interaction.
By the time students complete the BA (Hons) Professional Studies it is expected that they will have developed not only the study skills, organisational abilities, communication skills, research experience, learner-independence and self-reflective qualities expected of a graduate, but also the team-working, ITC and inter-personal skills and attributes which will enhance their effectiveness within the workplace and equip them to initiate strategies, manage change and respond positively to challenges in their professional lives.
