hence facilitating development of the 5x key management and leadership competencies. The focus will therefore be on 'active' learning. Active learning is centred on communication, discussion which replaces more traditional teacher led classroom engagement. Class sessions will therefore be an opportunity for teaching staff to demonstrate their expertise and enthusiasm of the subject and hence facilitate your learning most effectively. Many approaches to PPBL will be innovative and pushing the boundaries of – learning and knowledge in the MBA subject areas. MBA class sessions aim to be dynamic where you are valued contributors to constructive, collaborative and technology based learning. The PPBL philosophy aims to set in context the latest theories, models and frameworks throughout all modules so you can see where to apply your new skills as competencies in management and leadership roles. . The methods of teaching and learning used will vary according to the nature of the subject matter but will have a wide diversity from formal lectures to more student centred activities including tutorials, seminars, case studies, management simulation/exercises, group work, workshops, project work, role play plus virtual learning environments in addition to independent study and desk based/empirical research activity. In all classes, much emphasis will be placed on active, experiential learning which encourages preparatory work for full class participation. Come prepared to both learn and participate. Directed independent and work study will also be utilised to support and build on your knowledge, skills and competencies to provide a fuller understanding and context to each module. Both personal and module tutors will be available to provide 1:1 support where you feel it is required. 6.3 Timetabling Timetables will be made available to you at the start of each Semester teaching. You will discover that the MBA adopts a sympathetic approach to timetabling where for example classes may be conducted during afternoons and evenings to accommodate part time students whilst retaining the ability of all MBA students to experience the widest and most diverse learning experience. 6.4 MBA Programmes It is also expected that all students will actively participate in and contribute to both the Events and Careers Advisory programme events and activities will be running concurrent with module teaching and learning.
