The purpose of the lecture is to provide the learner with a broad overview of each topic in the syllabus. At level 8, learners will be required to supplement this with significant independent reading and research in the area. Lectures will be in a format that encourages active learning and learner autonomy and will form the basis for further critical independent enquiry. |

Practicals |
|
Contact |
Key analytical and applied skills are developed by learners in a laboratory environment whilst working both individually and in groups. Practical classes allow learners to explore and develop the application of theory. In addition practical experience enables learners to develop mastery of advanced specialised skills and practices associated with each module. |

Independent Learning Time |
|
Non Contact |
Independent learning encourages the development of learner self-direction and assessment thereby supporting learners to acquire relevant knowledge and experience to continue their professional development. Staff supported, independent learning activities will allow learners to formulate their own research questions and organise the resulting information or data using the appropriate advanced methodologies. |
