Teaching
Teaching and learning
Whilst the weekly delivery takes place at the LCIOT, your sprint teaching will take place at Mile End.
You will attend lectures, seminars, labs and tutorials during your on campus days. Your on campus requirement will be one day per week plus one week sprint teaching each semester and you will be in teaching during Semester A, B and C.
Your on campus time will be a minimum of 20% of your total weekly working hours and averages about 5-10 hours contact time.
Apprentices start one week before standard students.
Assessment
Assessment typically includes a combination of exams and coursework. There are practical assignments for laboratory-based modules, and exercise sheets or written assignments for more theoretical modules.
The End Point Assessment
The End Point Assessment (EPA) is a module where students will reflect on the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSB’s) that should be displayed during their apprenticeship. This will train them to sit their End Point Assessment, taken at the final stage of their apprenticeship.
The EPA contains three requirements, the synoptic project, the project presentation and the professional discussion.
Resources and facilities
You will be taught at the new London City Institute of Technology, a partnership between Queen Mary and Newham College, based near Canning Town station.
