Student success

Oliver Burrill, 22, started work at 18 but wanted to continue learning. He’s fulfilled his double goal combining work and part-time study to achieve a HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

‘‘I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned and implement it at work everyday. The tutors were always helpful as they’d come from an industry background themselves.’’

Headteacher Peter King is studying part-time at Darlington for his MA in Creative Writing for career development as well as personal interest.

“I’ve enjoyed working at the new Darlington campus. Being able to study on a local, accessible site, with good facilities is very advantageous.”

Your questions

Sam from Darlington asks

I’m interested in the MSc Leadership Change course, can you tell me if I would get any practical hands-on work experience as part of this course?

Response: The MSc Leadership and Change programme is a programme which is primarily designed for people who are already practising managers and needing to improve their leadership skills and deal with changes in the workplace. As such the 'hands-on' experience comes usually from the participants' own work situation. Many of the assessments call on students to analyse and reflect on their own circumstances using their employer as an example of issues they have faced. The programme appeals to people who already have some awareness of organisational problems and who have experience in one or m ore functional areas, usually gained through a management or leadership role. It also appeals to those with a more generalist, technical or professional background who wish to enhance their leadership skills.
