The University of Leeds has Delegated Authority from the City and Guilds’ Institute to offer Senior Awards which are designed for people working in industrial, business and professional environments. The WBL Unit has, over many years, successfully used the LCGI as a foundation for progression to higher academic levels such as the WBL Postgraduate Certificate. The Licentiateship is now being offered through supported learning; this will allow greater flexibility, as students will not have to take time out of the workplace to attend taught sessions.
3,000 word assignment comprising a 2,000 word, work-based report based upon how learning from the course is, or could be, applied in the workplace and a 1,000 word reflective review of the learning experience.
This award is undertaken by distance learning. Teaching methods are student-focussed, and centre on learning activities and participation of the full student group via distance learning, which includes the use of the University’s virtual learning environment. Structured distance learning support from the WBL Unit will be available throughout the programme.
Several groups of students have already undertaken the Licentiateship, and their evaluations demonstrate that they are enjoying and benefiting from the experience.
Good points identified by students are:
Programme fees are available upon application.
Acceptance onto accredited programmes will be confirmed in writing from the Work-Based Learning Unit.
Applications from organisations who wish to transfer or substitute students on accredited programmes will be considered subject to University regulations and approval from the Work-Based Learning Unit.
Terms and conditions for accredited programmes are in line with University of Leeds/Leeds University Business School rules and regulations. Full terms and conditions will be available to all students prior registration.
The programme is fully quality assured through the University’s QA system. The programme is subject to External Examiner’s scrutiny followed by approval at the C&G Examinations’ Board. The subject-specific component (the learning points from the EPC course) is quality assured through the Emergency Planning College’s QA system.
