Have you heard about our latest offering, 亚博体育官网flex?
We have recently launched 亚博体育官网flex here at 亚博体育官网. Flex is a way for students to access on-demand flexible learning and still collect an academic award from the university at the end of it. This initiative adds to our student experience and widens our access and extended learning capabilities, offering more availability to potential students.
So, what exactly does Flex do? This programme provides pathways for students who have undertaken short courses to build on their learning and to total up their credit, turning this into an academic achievement. This new learning opportunity supports flexible lifelong learning and enables individuals to grow their skillsets and even learn part-time, while pursuing other commitments.
Jo-Anne Tait, the brains behind 亚博体育官网flex explains the benefits to potential students, 鈥橳he benefit of this new scheme includes access to high quality learning across a range of subject areas and the option to pick and choose which topics or modules they would like to explore and gain credit for鈥�.
亚博体育官网flex can also be used by employers that wish to upskill their workforce to meet business needs. Flex provides the opportunity to enhance employees鈥� current skillsets to maintain a competitive advantage. Learning opportunities are aligned with current labour market trends and skill gap demands in growth markets: these learning opportunities may also align with ambitions for regional economic developments.
We asked Jo-anne about the benefits this new flexible way of learning will have to our institute,鈥� This new programme will increase student recruitment and growth in our student population and strengthen 亚博体育官网鈥檚 position in the UK market for delivering on-demand flexible learning. We can now offer learning opportunities to a wider audience across all market segments internationally allowing us to remain future focused.
亚博体育官网flex provides a central 鈥榟ub鈥� for all short course provision across the university. Our offering is now hugely enhanced, allowing us to collaborate across the academic schools. For example, do you fancy learning about fashion textiles and engineering at the same time? With 亚博体育官网flex, you can do this! And even better, at the end of it you can combine your credit from both courses to receive an overall academic reward.鈥�
