The programme consists of the following level 6 modules:
Occasional changes to modules and course content may take place. Students will be notified when applicable.
The programme adopts a work-integrated model where a co-ordinated and interrelated approach is taken to theoretical and practical learning, integrating knowledge and competence. This model aids in achieving professional competence, developing reflective professionals who are equipped to undertake life-long learning and professional development.
The programme pedagogies reflect an aligned approach to programme design in which all elements of the teaching, learning, and assessment experience contribute toward holistic learner development to enable graduates to meet the programme competencies. An inquiry-based approach encourages learners to connect with the individual topics explored in the programme and to personalise and understand the process that leads to their comprehension and skill acquisition. Experiential learning, learning through doing, is central within the programme design and incorporated through the work-based learning element of the programme, the activities guided in workshops, and the subsequent reflections upon these learning experiences.
The teaching method utilises an interactive workshop approach to delivery which enables new knowledge to be imparted and learning to be guided through application of the core concepts to the learner’s own experience. Short lectures are used for the introduction of topics and concepts. Learning is reinforced through a range of activities that take place including peer discussions and debates, guided group and individual workshop tasks, tutorials, workplace application, reflection on learning and application, and guided reading.
Formative assessment is an embedded process within the teaching strategy as steady self-reflection, engagement with workshops, collaborative work, and workplace application ensures a continual process of assessment and feedback from tutors, peers, and employers.
Students are assessed through a variety of methods which seek to develop and assess a range of transferable skills and key competencies with a view to producing a fully rounded DNCG Graduate. Through applied assignments, learners’ application of business and management philosophies and practices are examined and their decision making brought to the forefront to aid in high-level critical self-evaluation. Therefore, each module has a reflective component to aid in developing the critical reflection of learners. These practices serve to “instil an understanding of responsible leadership” (QAA,2023:SBS1.4) and embed the Principles of Responsible Management Education (figure 1), creating graduates who create inclusive prosperity and promote freedom, justice, and peace in regenerative and resilient ecosystems.
Assessment methods include:

This provision focuses on the holistic development of learners, with the competency based, work-integrated model providing a co-ordinated and interrelated approach to theoretical and practical learning, integrating knowledge and competence.
In line with Subject Benchmark Statement 1.7 (QAA,2023), graduates will be “effective, impactful and responsible employees, work colleagues, leaders and global citizens.” (QAA,2023:1.8).
This equips graduates with the attributes required to be competent managers across sectors of the UK employment landscape.
