Intended Learning Outcomes for the Individual Modules

Teaching and Learning Procedures EIM uses an appropriate mix of teaching and learning methods that allow learners with different learning styles and abilities to successfully complete our degree courses. The didactic approach is based on a Oxbridge-style tutorial teaching and learning approach which is highly fit for interactive and student-centred learning that promotes active participation of students and a personal learning experience. Assessment Procedures The program has a varied range of learning activities embedded within the content for each module. The assessment of the study performance includes a combination of feedforward by lecturers and peers on partial works developed for each tutorial and a final examination. The chosen examination format for each module is aligned with the specific learning outcomes of this module. The assessments are based on the combined evaluation of partial works delivered for each tutorial and of the final examination. All assessments are corroborated by a second qualified lecturer or coach. To secure originality of the case study developed, the final assessment includes an oral presentation component where students present their final case study.
