Module Leadership: Welcome

Getting started

The Module Leader Pathway has been been developed to include a series of professional learning experiences for those new to module leadership, new to module leadership at the University of Suffolk, or simply for experienced module leaders to familiarise themselves with new processes and best practices. However, this is not exclusive to Module leaders, and those who have would simply like to know more about some of the themes outlined are welcome to join. 

The sessions have been designed to support Module Leaders with different aspects of the role, including guidance for module management, planning, assessment, and enhancement through student partnership. These professional learning experiences will be repeated throughout the year and do not have to be attended in a particular sequence.  

Each component of the training provided aligns to the AdvanceHE UKPSF which underpin applications for Fellowship. You can see when they are being delivered by clicking on the CPD event calendar tab in the table below.
