Teaching and learning
This course is designed to provide a mix of asynchronous, remote synchronous and face-to-face delivery. The course comprises three modules, each with teaching sessions held in Cambridge and additional between-module reflection, study and assignment work. A virtual learning environment [VLE] will support students' learning throughout the programme.
It is essential that applicants are available to attend all teaching events.

Venue for teaching sessions:
The venue will be confirmed in advance.
Assessment
Students will be given formal feedback on their assignments and informal feedback throughout their course.
You will be assessed throughout the three modules using a variety of formative and summative techniques including ongoing completion of a professional portfolio and reflective learning journal. The summative components will include written examinations of underpinning knowledge, as well as an objective structured practical examination (OSPE). There will also be a requirement for you to take part in peer review of other students, both as the observer and as the learner, and then to provide a written reflection on that process.
Demonstration of active participation in the programme will also be required.
