31. Course summary 37 The MSc Professional Engineering and Technology course is entirely work-based and will give professionals the opportunity to learn quickly without leaving their work. The course includes a wide range of flexible options, which allow students to combine their prior experience and to continue working on their current business tasks as a part of their study. This way, studying for a higher academic degree will help them to reflect on their own work and to find possibilities to run their business more efficiently, which can boost their career to a new professional level. Two of the modules included in the study programme are of technical nature and are meant to increase the level of professionalism in dealing with technology (Professional Technology Foundation and Technology and Engineering Solutions Management), two modules are methodological by nature and target the personal and professional development of the students (Research and Development Skills, Work-Based Learning and Professional Development) and a third group of modules is entirely practically-oriented and directly prepares the students for the project (Professional Portfolio and Project Management). The MSc Project module, which finishes the course of study, summarizes and integrates the knowledge and skills gained during the study on a problem directly related to students work, and therefore it allows them to show to a fuller extent a new level of competence and confidence in their workplace. The course takes from one to six years to complete and can be studied part-time without interrupting the students’ work. If for whatever reason the students are unable to complete their study they can be awarded one of the two intermediate awards (Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Technology and Engineering and Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Technology and Engineering). 32. Course Regulatory Schedule a) Since the course is work-based, a specific regulation related to this course will be to seek the agreement of both the university and the student employer or contracted client if appropriate before undertaking the programme of study. After preliminary assessment of the student’s preparation, the student and the Course Organiser will construct a negotiated programme of study. Before final enrolment on the course, the student will need to provide in writing an official statement of agreement of this programme of study from his/her employer. b) The university regulations allow up to 50% of the credits to be claimed using AP(E)L procedures. The modules which are recognised and/or assessed through these procedures will be included with the respective credit in the program of study. The only modules which are exempt from this procedure are CCPW02N, CCPW05N and the MSc Project (60 credits). c) APEL requires students to demonstrate their learning from experience through approved assessment methods. APEL guidance can be delivered by a variety of means: • as an independent learning activity, where students apply on an individual basis and are given materials and tutor support, as appropriate, in order to prepare their evidence, similar to project supervision; • as a specific module where the accreditation process is supported and delivered within a standard module. Such a module would have learning outcomes in its own right and would be subject to the normal approval processes. The students will be assigned an APEL support tutor, who will guide them throughout the process of APEL assessment. d) APCL allows recognising of the relevant training prior to starting the course. It requires appropriate match of the prior study in level and content to the learning outcomes of the respective modules. This will be organised by the APCL Coordinator of the Faculty.
