The Work Based Learning (WBL) 2 module is designed to give students the opportunity to integrate the academic knowledge gained through this level of study into a practical work-based setting through the delivery of project(s) relevant to their workplace setting and engage in meaningful reflection regarding the impact of this knowledge on organisational and personal performance.
Building on the level 7 'Graduate Apprenticeship Work Based Learning (WBL) 1' module, this module requires students to gain a deeper understanding of managerial issues within the workplace.
This module is developed in accordance with the UWS Graduate Attributes and helps students to develop the skills, qualities and abilities which will prepare them for success both out with university and beyond their period of study at UWS. The module also helps to develop many of the personal and professional attributes found at https://www.uws.ac.uk/current-students/your-graduate-attributes/

| Learning and Teaching |

This is a work-based learning module. Accordingly, the majority of learning and teaching is delivered 'in situ' with students undertaking specific projects and tasks within the workplace which enable the application of theoretical principles and concepts from across their learning as well as encourgaing reflection on both personal and professional practices.
Students will be asked to maintain a detailed online presence, in line with the Graduate Apprenticeship learning, teaching and assesssment strategy, which curates a range of reflections on both individual and professional practices. This will be assessed at key points in the academic session. |
