Course summary

There will be weekly skills sessions throughout Term 1 and Term 2.  These sessions are designed to help you explore beyond the taught components of your course. These sessions will include core academic skill support, but will go further into key employability skills that we have identified as useful, either through our work with students, or discussion with employers about what they're looking for. 

We will leave some of the sessions in Term 2 for you to suggest topics or skills that you'd like to cover. There is a forum below, please make suggestions of the things that you'd really like to learn/explore.  We will do our best to facilitate as many of these as possible. 

These sessions are supplementary, and optional.  But, we have designed them to support your learning and to assist you with assessments and future employability. So we really do encourage you to attend.

We will be awarding a new certificate in Transdisciplinary Skills to those students who attend 10 of the taught sessions over the course of the academic year.  In order to be awarded the certificate, we'd like you to write a brief reflection on what you've taken from the session  here on Moodle. This doesn't need to be extensive, a sentence or two will do. This helps us to explore the way that our learning connects to our broader academic experience. 

This course is available for Staff members who need access to a Turnitin-enabled assignment that does not store content in the repository.

FTMSc 18/19  Business Model Generation

The course has been modified for 2018-19 by reducing formal lectures, and turning it into a five day business model sprint. The formal lecture notes are all available online and should be read, ideally before course start or each day before those topics are addressed in class.

A new workbook has been created which will be printed and provided to participants. This contains guidance and templates to work through during the week (as part of a team) creating viable business models for a business opportunity.

There is a pitch to be done on Friday afternoon to a panel (and the rest of the class) based on the work undertaken during the week. This carries a 10% mark towards the Final assessment for the module.

The course post module work requires the student to generate a new idea and systematically work through the analysis and development of  a viable business model. It is suggested that this may be a good way to start thinking about your main course project. The PMW is worth 90%.
