The philsphy f the curse is that learning in the wrkplace is an imprtant dimensin and assists students in internalizing their learning experiences in the mre traditinal classrm situatin. Fr this reasn the Fundatin Degree is primarily based arund part time study which best facilitates this type f learning hwever where suitable wrk can be fund fr students then the curse may be ffered full time. All part time students will be sent by their emplyer and cme frm within cnstructin, prperty r related industries. Mst will be mature experienced individuals and many will cme frm a craft r technician backgrund and bring supervisry and managerial experience. Their cmpanies will supprt these students thrugh the Fundatin Degree curse because they are taking increasing respnsibility in their rganisatins and these students therefre need t develp new skills and aptitudes. There is hwever, a full time ptin and there is wrkplace learning built int the curse as an essential element in bth levels 4 and 5 (years ne and tw) f the full time curse. Full time students are expected t develp emplyment skills during the curse and it is the stated intentin f the curse that students will gain full time emplyment and change mde during the curse t cmplete the Fundatin Degree curse part time. These students will gain emplyment within cnstructin, prperty r related industries. The Fundatin Degree graduate will have the pprtunity t transfer nt the part time BSc Cnstructin Management with hnurs degree at the University f Westminster with 10 mdules f 15 credits each t cmplete the curse. This includes transitin studies (part time) f tw mdules f 15 credits. It is expected that students will be emplyed within cnstructin, prperty r related industries n entering their curse at the University f Westminster. Typically yu will wrk fr cnstructin rganizatins which may include cntracting rganizatins, wrking in-huse fr nn-cntracting rganizatins r similar. Transitin Studies Yu will prgress thrugh the transitin studies prgramme nt the: BSc with hnurs in Cnstructin Management part time curse accredited by the Chartered Institute f Building Transfer will nrmally be autmatic t the University f Westminster. Nrmally bth mdules f the transitin must be passed t prgress nt the BSc with hnurs hwever ne pass and ne taken may be accepted.

11 TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT METHODS Teaching, learning and assessment strategies are designed t develp cnfidence in nn-traditinal student grups and prgressively build the academic and wrk related skills s that they can successfully prgress int higher educatin. Many f the mdules use wrk-based inputs althugh the assessments are cllege based. This develps the student frm, what is fr mst, a practical familiar situatin and builds n their past experiences. During the curse all students will have gained wrk-based experiential learning thrugh wrking within related industries as part-time students based within cmpanies r full-time students based in clleges with part-time wrk within cmpanies. Due t the entrance requirements fr the Fundatin Degree and the characteristics f cnstructin curses, students will tend t be mature. The aims, utcmes and assessment criteria within each mdule are clearly stated and set ut within the curse curriculum making the develpmental apprach transparent. There is a significant element f curse/prject wrk and frmal examinatins are intrduced prgressively thrugh the curse. Data gathering using mentrs/facilitatrs at wrk, discussin grups, presentatins, wrkshps are all used t develp an independent, rbust and cnfident individual wh will be able t study effectively in a higher educatin envirnment. The acquisitin f transferable and specialized skills is designed t be cumulative as the curse develps, culminating in the applicatin f many f these skills in the integrated prject. The teaching and learning methds used include design studis, wrkshps, labratry-based mdules, traditinal lectures, discussins, seminars, tutrials, prject simulatins, case studies, rle playing and grup wrk, as apprpriate. The teaching, learning and assessment strategies fr each mdule are derived frm the curse and mdule aims and desired utcmes. Assessment strategies reflect the teaching and learning strategies by fcusing n frms f assessment which mre cmmnly replicate what happens in the wrk envirnment and are mre apprpriate t the experience f the lder experienced student frm the cnstructin and prperty sectrs. Typically this will relate t bservatin, analysis and prblem slving f wrk based situatins. This allws frmative feedback. Tests are kept in-class t be flexible, familiar and t give rapid feedback. This will enable the develpment f skills and cnfidence which allw the intrductin f frmal examinatins later in the curse. 11
