Working alongside experts, and carrying out authentic fieldwork is an integral part of our approach.
Students do the work of experts, as experts, alongside experts in the field - as opposed to hearing from experts about the work that they do.
This is a part of our regular curriculum offer, and so students learn content whilst also learning about careers - discovering passions and opening perspectives to pathways that they may not already have considered.
