Overview
The Review of Learning module is designed for those with experience of learning through work who want to progress their careers further. This will enable you to make a claim for university credit that can count towards a qualification.
This module aims to provide the support and structure for you to review your work based/informal or professional learning and explore its significance for your career development and/or higher education programme.
