MA/MSc by Learning Objectives
The MA/MSc by Learning Objectives course provides a bespoke masters level course allowing you and your university supervisor to draw up a learning contract, a programme individually tailored for you.
The course allows you to:
- Choose your own study area, enabling you to pursue a topic which suits your work or personal interests
- Set your own goals, objectives and timescales in conjunction with your university supervisor, so the programme is your own
- Have one-to-one support and guidance from your supervisor enabling you to establish a good relationship and receive the benefit of your supervisor’s knowledge and expertise
- Be able to study in your workplace, part-time over two years, maximising learning opportunities and minimising time away from work
- Gain a masters level qualification through a flexible course which fits with the demands of your job and your lifestyle.
You may include relevant taught modules from the university’s portfolio in your programme of study and all students on the course undertake a dissertation module. The title of your MA or MSc is chosen to reflect the programme of study you undertake and so is individual for each student.
Group mode
If a number of people from one company or a group of companies all wish to undertake the course, studying similar topics, the course can be run as a group activity. You will each have individual learning agreements, but there will be a university group facilitator who will meet with you all regularly and run action learning sets.
This way of taking the MA/MSc by Learning Objectives is a very cost-effective way of improving the skills of key members of a workforce, while delivering continuing professional development and giving employees the opportunity to achieve a valuable qualification.
