Teaching and Learning Methods
A range of teaching and learning methods are used to enable students to acquire and apply the knowledge, awareness and skills expressed in the course and module learning outcomes. Lectures, supported by paper-based, audio-visual and web-based materials, are used to provide essential information, analysis of theories, concepts and methods, guidance for further work and a framework and stimulus for learning. Lectures also involve students in learning through the provision of opportunities for questioning, participation and interaction.
Seminars enable students to evaluate, integrate and apply knowledge, theories and concepts to historical and current policies and practice, discuss issues and arguments and share ideas and experience in an atmosphere of constructive dialogue and mutual respect. Group activities, workshops, discussions and interactions facilitate the development of interpersonal skills and peer support and learning, and are used to stimulate discussion, application and sharing of information, ideas, values and experience.
In years two and three, opportunities are also provided for students to be able to gain experience in a voluntary or work based setting; these opportunities aim to ‘embed’ issues of social theory into day to day practice, and enable the students to gain valuable experience in a work based setting, extend their employability and gain access to potential employers.
A system of one-to-one tutorials operates to provide support and regular feedback to those Joint and Major students completing dissertations in Social Policy, as well as those undertaking work experience options.
As part of their study of comparative welfare regimes, Joint and Major students are offered the opportunity to participate in an international student exchange programmes which has been developed by staff here in the School of Social Work.
Assessment methods
Throughout the programme there is a combination of formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment takes the form of feedback on student presentations and group project work.

15.Personal Development Planning
Personal Development Planning (PDP) is intended to provide a process by which students can reflect on their learning and plan for their personal and career development. The primary objective of PDP is to improve each student’s capacity to understand what and how they are learning, and to review, plan and take responsibility for their own learning. The programme has developed a structured approach to PDP for a student, which is set out below.
All students will graduate with a Progress File, which should contain:
- A student transcript setting out details of academic learning, which is generated by the university and will be provided at the end of the course.
- A Personal Development Record (PDR) summarising personal learning, which includes plans and goals for continuing learning and development. Students will forward this to their personal tutor who will sign it off. The signed and stamped copy will be returned to students by administrative staff with their institutional transcript.
- PDP material in evidence and support of the PDR.
