Each course year designates a specific level of student development. Students are portrayed as The Inquiring Student in year one, Emerging Practitioners in year two, and Effective Graduates towards the end of the course.
The introduction of student learning syndicates, which foster group cohesion and a feeling of community, as well as longer induction periods at the start of important modules in Years One and Three boost student achievement. The Academic Skills & Literacy (ALS) and Personal and Professional Development (PDP) modules that are taught each year are two additional crucial components of the course design that encourage achievement.
