22. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
1. Core modules are essential to learners' achievement of their target award, often in respect of meeting professional standards, and are excluded from the application of condonement by assessment boards. 2. Compulsory modules are prescribed modules but are not core and therefore are condonable.3. Optional modules are offered within programmes to provide an element of choice and variety within the programme curriculum. They do not form part of the compulsory curriculum requirements for the programme. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year which means that not all optional modules may be available in any given year and will be subject to the module achieving minimum student numbers. Students will be required to make optional choices on an annual basis for each academic year of study.
Subject to approval by the Faculty, subject option modules of up to 20 credits at FHEQ levels 5 or 6 may be substituted by Free Elective modules from the wider module portfolio where available. Free Electives provide additional choice and breadth for learners, complement their subject study and may enhance their employability.

24. TEACHING AND LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES
25. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
The Applied Health and Social Care, Undergraduate Degree Portfolio Section A, 3c and 3d outline the approach to teaching, learning and assessing within this degree. A variety of teaching and learning strategies will be used throughout the programme, including lead lectures, critical debate, seminars, independent study and problem solving; utilising scenarios to encourage group discussion and fosterpeer relationships. Students will be encouraged to interact, debate, compare and critically evaluate evidence drawn from theoretical concepts and case studies. To promote the development of independent learning strategies, delivery ofthe theoretical aspects of the programme will utilise participation through a series of bespoke workbooks directed through the VLE, to encourage students to develop skills in independent learning. This will be supplemented by tutorialsand lead lectures facilitated by academic staff. The programme has been designed to facilitate the integration of theoretical knowledge and applied analysis in the contemporary field of crime and offending behaviour. Modules will utilise a case based approach to learning in order to encourage the development of critical problem solving skills, by encouraging students to critically evaluate the evidencebase underpinning theory, policy and service responses. HUG 3254 Experiential Placement module provides students with a unique opportunity to experience working life in a specialist area of practice of their choice. A key focus of this module is to closely align theory and practice and to provide a learning platform from which to transfer theoretical knowledge into real working-life experience. This placement has the potential to significantly enhance students' future employability prospects via building of professionalnetworks and contacts. In acknowledgement of the increasing demand for technology enhanced learning within programmes to further develop the flexibility of delivery, access and time by students a proportion of the modules will utilise the virtual learning environment (VLE) to supplement face-to-face delivery modes. For the undergraduate dissertation module students and the programme team will select the most appropriate module route (HUG 3100 or HUG 3239). Each student will be allocated an academic supervisor drawn from the academic staff of the Faculty of Health and Social Care. Development of research skill necessary to complete the dissertation module will be underpinned by the Understanding Research module (HUG 2213). Central to the philosophy of the programme will be the encouragement of students to engage with voluntary work experience from the outset, in preparation for their experiential placement experience in the third year of the programme.
Each assessment task will provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate their ability and receive informal feedbackin relation to the stated learning outcomes and the particular academic level of the module. For the research dissertation each student will be allocated an academic supervisor who will provide ongoing guidance and feedback. Each module has been designed with a specific formative assessment which will augment and enhance the students' learning experience. Bespoke workbooks, presentations and online discussion through the VLE are central to the students' formative experience. Continuous formative assessment including lecturer and peer feedback will be an integral part of module delivery. In addition, academic staff are available for one-to-one tutorials. As such, there will be a greater emphasis on lecturer-led activities initially; ensuring students are appropriately guided in the direction of their studies.
