Additional learning opportunities
Additional learning opportunities are
elements of the programme of study that augment the usual classroom teaching
of the syllabus content.
explanatory context
Typical additional opportunities are work
experience, year abroad, additional employability modules or activities (such as courses
run by careers centres), extra language classes and, in some cases,
opportunities to reflect on extra-curricular activity, voluntary or paid.
analytical review
The
Distinctive features of the course, which may not be available to, or achieved by, all students, such as an intercalated year or year abroad, language options, work experience opportunities,
It is a moot point whether additional opportunities are linked to the programme of study (and compulsory or options), separate from the programme but facilitated by the university, extra-curricular and entirely outside the university. In practice, all three scenarios offer students additional learning opportunities but some places, such as the definition above, only include them in this category if they are a feature of the programme of study.
