Work Experience Project

The purpose of the module is to provide students with an opportunity to gain accreditation for learning through work experience. Students arrange their own work experience with a minimum of 120 hours of work engagement. The student learning through work experience can take place in a variety of organisational settings and roles, including volunteering. This module aims to help students to identify and reflect upon key skills gained through work experience, with a view to developing as a professional for future employment.

1. demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the business environment and functional areas of an organisation;

2. identify and apply a range of appropriate technical and interpersonal skills that reflect a professional attitude in the workplace;

3. apply a systematic approach to recording key attributes and learnings obtained through their work experience, which are required for future sustainable employability; and

4. identify the links between theoretical concepts and their application in the workplace.
