In the first year, you will opt for one of four areas of specialisation: Textiles and Fashion, Health and Social Care, Hospitality, or Engineering Technology.
During the first and second year, there are core and compulsory study-units in pedagogy and assessment related to vocational education and teaching, and two industry field placements related to vocational education.
As from the second year, teachers will choose either a study-unit related to the research component in preparation for a dissertation that will be carried out in your final year.
