The emphasis is upon `learning by doing¿, where learning takes place through personal experience, social interaction and reflection. The learning programme is reflecting the view that learning can take place outside as well as inside the classroom. It will facilitate interaction with the world of business as the module progresses. In addition, students will also have the opportunity to 'try out' these skills within their own subject specialisms.
