The unit will make use of a mixed-mode approach to delivery; that is, a mixture of face-to-face plenary sessions, on-line readings and activities, and self-paced work. Industry leaders will feature as guest lecturers, enabling learners to make the connections between theory and practical application. Student activities will require independent and team-based work, both within and outside sessions - group work will form a critical component of unit activities. The content will include knowledge and skill-building by way of self-discovery, improving self-awareness and the application of learning in different, diverse and cross-cultural contexts. The ultimate aim is to build individual and professional capacity.
