Module Indicative Content
Students will evaluate their experience and aspirations in order to plan a suitable programme for their chosen progression route. Research will be undertaken to identify the criteria needed to reach personal goals, and skills development planned to meet those needs.
Input should include information from progression route areas, such as University, heritage organisations, business planning, entrepreneurs, Prince's Trust, financial advisors, Creative Network, Arts Council, West Midlands, etc.
Students will plan a work-based project in consultation with their tutors, work partners and mentor. If they are considering an academic pathway, their consultations should include a University tutor and other academic contacts, such as students and recent graduates. The project will directly meet the needs of the identified criteria for the chosen progression route, and form the basis of the module Exploring Specialist Pathway II. Funding for the project should be fully investigated and described.
