It has been designed to meet the needs of the user community as identified in a University of Manchester survey of UK industry, the Graduate Recruiters Organisation and by detailed feedback from small, medium and large enterprises. A team learning log will be kept, examined at regular intervals and form part of the assessment.
Students make individual and group presentations and reports.
They are assessed on their communication, management and team working skills, both by the group and the module leader. Students will complete all practical assignments and their individual and team learning logs. The logs will form the basis of a record of achievement. The planned record of achievement is currently being evaluated by the Department of Employment.
