Embedding employability in the curriculum is not optional - it is a requirement for all our courses. However, the way in which this is achieved may vary from one course to another, depending on the nature of the subject area.

Detailed information about learning, teaching and assessment really belongs at module-level, but an effective course design requires that consideration has been given to a coherent, course-wide learning, teaching and assessment strategy.
