Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
The learning and teaching approach is one of offering learning for, and through, entrepreneurship. This involves you utilising theoretical models and frameworks and applying them to practical business scenarios. You will be provided with responsive, engaging and interactive learning materials which will include a general introduction to the topic together with core academic theory. You will also be directed to a variety of other learning sources including (e-)books, (e-)journals and other web-based resources to support your learning and acquire knowledge for yourself. You will also be able to apply new knowledge within the context of your professional experience, reflecting on and learning from your prior experience and developing abilities to apply this in new situations.

Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship Skills
The content will facilitate the development of key skills such as reflective learning and critical thinking. Scholarship skills are developed through completion of the assessment

Assessment
Assessment is by two reports. Formative assessment covers LO1 and LO2. Summative assessment covers LO3 and LO4.

Research / teaching linkages
Research skills are developed in the preparation of materials for in-class discussions where you will be required to source, analyse and present information. This is reinforced through the summative assessments in which the report draws on your information retrieval and analysis skills.

Supporting equality and diversity
Materials will be available through the VLE and you can format these in a style that best matches your needs. Where additional special needs support is required this will be organised on an individual basis with the student concerned.

Internationalisation
Materials reference international examples and case studies. Discussion will draw upon the international perspectives from the diverse student body.
