Scope and identification of Risks Introduction: In accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, this plan inform students of what they can expect should a course, campus or institution close. This Student Protection Plan (hereafter “the Plan”) aims to demonstrate that Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has considered how students can continue or complete their studies or be compensated if this is not possible. The University recognises that in the event of a significant course or campus closure it will be expected to work closely with the Office for Students and its own student body to ensure that students’ interests are protected through any such change. Nottingham Trent University is a large, established, high performing and financially stable provider. We would like to reassure both our students and applicants that the risks outlined in this Plan are all very low and in the case of closure extremely low.

The Diploma offered vocational education with occupational capacity, underpinned by functional skills and academic subject content. It was truly the first hybrid qualification that attempted to combine the hitherto separate vocational and academic curricula. This study examines the educational policies that led to the introduction of the Diploma and the reasons behind its ultimate failure and demise. The study comprises two parts. The first is an investigation into the continuing professional development needs that this new initiative created for teachers. This led to the publication in 2010 of a book, The Essential Guide to Teaching 14-19 Diplomas, a description and account of which is presented in this thesis. This book was the first of its kind aimed at supporting teachers working with the Diploma. The key research findings addressed were the need to understand the structure and constituent elements of the Diploma and to provide practical advice on how to deliver effective Initial Advice and Guidance (IAG), Personal Thinking and Learning Skills (PTLS) and Functional Skills. The second part of the study is concerned with the aftermath of the Diploma.

  • Leicester Student Voice Report
    Leicester Student Voice Executive report February 2020 Foreword This report sets out the findings of a ‘Leicester Student Voice’ event organised jointly by Leicester City Council, De Montfort University and the University of Leicester. The research forms part of a three-year partnership project aimed at increasing the proportion of local graduates who stay in Leicester to begin their career. In 2017, an average of 28% of graduates from Leicester’s two city universities stayed to live and work locally, compared to a national average of 48.4%. Retaining graduate talent is critical for the success of city economies like Leicester as the UK continues to specialise in ever more high-skilled, knowledge intensive activities. The Leicester Graduate Retention partnership will identify and implement actions aimed at influencing students to stay in Leicester and progress on to high-skilled career pathways with locally-based businesses, including support for start-up activity. 2 The Project actions will be determined based on hearing the student and business voice throughout the project, as critical stakeholders for developing meaningful change. The project team wishes to thank the students who willingly offered their time, experiences and ideas at the Leicester Student Voice event.

    Knowledge that counts: an examination of the theory practice gap between business and marketing academics and business practitioners examined in respect of their respective epistemic stances Item Type Thesis or dissertation Authors Ash, Malcolm Publisher University of Derby Download date 25/09/2021 15:36:19 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10545/333867 UNIVERSITY OF DERBY KNOWLEDGE THAT COUNTS: AN EXAMINATION OF THE THEORY PRACTICE GAP BETWEEN BUSINESS AND MARKETING ACADEMICS AND BUISNESS PRACTITIONERS EXAMINED IN TERMS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EPISTEMIC STANCES. Malcolm R Ash Programme Title Year Doctor of Education 2014 Acknowledgements My grateful and heartfelt thanks to my wife whose support has been so essential and without whose inspiration this would never have been finished. And to my supervisor David Longbottom whose wise and sound advice has been irreplaceable. Abstract Abstract This work examines and presents evidence for the existence of a gap in epistemological views between academic and practice marketers. Few if any academics would seem to challenge the ‘gap’ premise but the importance of any gap and its nature are issues about which little agreement exists. The intractable nature of the academic practitioner gap has a long history of interesting and diverse debate ranging from Dewey’s argument about the true nature of knowing to contributions based on epistemic adolescence, ontological differences and more pragmatic suggestions about different tribes. Others include the rigour versus relevance issue, failures in curriculum or pedagogy and a clash between modernist and postmodernist epistemologies. Polanyi’s description of tacit versus explicit knowledge further extends the debate as do issues of knowledge creation and dissemination in particular through Nonaka.
