Learning and teaching methods
You will be taught through highly interactive lectures, student-led seminars, small group activities and tutorials. In order to support reflective practice and skills development throughout your studies, you will also be encouraged to work in action learning groups tackling real issues with other learners.
Lectures are normally scheduled for weekly afternoon/evening delivery but the specific delivery pattern will be negotiated with each intake of students. In addition to the scheduled sessions, students are also encouraged to engage with the virtual and face-to-face activities of the University’s Women’s Entrepreneurship Hub which includes networking and mentoring opportunities.
The importance of mentoring is widely recognised in entrepreneurship and also in a range of other contexts such as management, education and non-traditional sectors. This qualification, which has been designed to develop high level mentoring skills and understanding, presents opportunities both to those in employment and also in self-employment or entrepreneurship.
