Modes of delivery, Learning, Teaching and Assessment methods:

The DTLLS programmes will be managed and taught by staff within the FE Colleges. The Partnership Advisory Group will undertake the coordination duties including day to day management, moderation, curriculum development and quality assurance. The programmes complement existing provision within University and are examples of its commitment to widening participation. Within each FE College the LLQT ITT programmes also complement the existing portfolio of
i) knowledge and critical understanding of the well-established principles of their area(s) of study, and of the way in which those principles have developed;

ii) ability to apply underlying concepts and principles outside the context in which they were first studied, including, where appropriate, the application of those principles in an employment context;

iii) knowledge of the main methods of enquiry in their subject(s), and ability to evaluate critically the appropriateness of different approaches to solving problems in the field of study;

iv) an understanding of the limits of their knowledge, and how this influences analyses and interpretations based on that knowledge.

Typically, holders of the qualification will be able to:

a) use a range of established techniques to initiate and undertake critical analysis of information, and to propose solutions to problems arising from that analysis;

b) effectively communicate information, arguments, and analysis, in a variety of forms, to specialist and non-specialist audiences, and deploy key techniques of the discipline
