About the course
This novel scheme is designed for those working at postgraduate level in industry, or in an area of interest not catered for by the taught masters programme, who wish to have their work accredited for an appropriate academic award. The key to the scheme is the specification of a learning agreement. Each agreement is unique and defined after discussions between the participant, the course leader, the employer (where appropriate) and an academic supervisor.
The programme is available for all potential masters-level work across a wide range of subjects. Participants are examined at the end of their agreed learning programme by written dissertation and viva voce.

Course structure
The learning agreement is defined by a number of goals which are developed into learning objectives and activities. Assessment procedures and criteria are established. A proportion of the goals may, with agreement, be achieved by successful completion of relevant modules taken from existing masters degrees within the university.
The work, having been validated as being at postgraduate level, is credited towards a degree. The final award title reflects the specific area of work undertaken.
