| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
| In line with UWS’ Curriculum Framework, providing a flexible and hybrid, student-centred and inclusive approach to learning and teaching, the module has been designed around the delivery of engaging, activity- and discussion-based workshops, nurtured by meaningful online content, including short videos, reading materials, quizzes, etc. This approach creates more flexibility for students, while also enhancing deeper learning through engagement with peers and teaching staff, both online and in the classroom. This is further supported by the assessment approach adopted, enabling students to develop both academic and employability-focused knowledge and skills within international business — all aligned to the overarching purpose and aims of the programme. |
