Post graduate study provides a significant opportunity for experienced practitioners to reflect on their work and develop critically informed strategies for personal, professional and organizational development. The blended learning approach for this programme provides a rich variety of core and optional modules in London and in Stoke in a collaborative arrangement with Staffordshire University. This allows access to greater diversity and expertise in teaching personnel, allowing engagement with a range of students across a range of professional disciplines. The majority of students will be mature returning to study after being ‘in practice’ although some students may be progressing directly from an undergraduate qualification. Each student is therefore assessed on their own merit through application statements, references and an informal interview, and may be people with existing academic qualifications to those who have none but have significant experience and demonstrate an aptitude to work at M Level.
