Why QMU?
Excellent support from staff: Smaller than average class sizes mean you will get close support and guidance from staff who get to know you.
Staff expertise: You will be taught by a staff group with diverse experience and expertise both in practice areas and research. We work closely with practice partners, third sector organisations and individuals with lived experience, all of this enhances your learning on the course.
Variety of teaching and learning methods: The course is well grounded in practice by integrating and applying practical examples throughout the course, for example, case scenarios linked to assignments, vivas and problem-based learning tasks, and visiting lecturers. This integrates placement and coursework and therefore makes learning relevant to practice.
Encouraging you to think: Critical thinking is encouraged throughout the course, helping learners to develop professional reasoning skills. Learners are facilitated to explore and justify their thinking and decision-making, as well as considering the bigger picture.
