There are eight 10 credit modules included within the programme structure for the networking pathway and ten 10 credit modules included within the programme structure for the software development pathway.

PS5. Programme Aims

This programme will deliver:

1. To provide a challenging programme of study that will enable candidates to develop their conceptual understanding, knowledge, skills and techniques required for today’s Information and Communications Technology industry.

2. To develop the underpinning skills for students to become independent learners in the constantly evolving Information and Communications Technology environment.

3. To provide industry with the personnel who possess the skills and knowledge that enables the efficient use of computer systems to maximise the potential of the organisation.

4. To provide an intellectually stimulating practical framework that will enable candidates to develop their careers.

5. To enable the understanding of the subject area through both academic and professional reflective practice.

6. To provide specialised modules relevant to the Information and Communications Technology industry in which candidates are employed, and a platform for successful career development.

To provide students with a qualification that will allow progression to Honours Degree programmes.

PS6. Programme Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

By the end of this programme the student will be able to:

1. Demonstrate knowledge of the theories and main methods of enquiry and be able to critically understand the principles of Information and Communications Technology

2. Demonstrate an awareness of the social and environmental implications of Information and Communications Technology infrastructures

3. Apply the underlying concepts, ideas and principles to scenarios which are outside of a familiar context.


4. Develop the knowledge and skills to become an autonomous learner in preparation for the rapidly evolving discipline of Information and Communications Technology.

5. Develop the qualities and skills required by organisations and self to progress in a career in the information and communications industry.

Apply methods of enquiry to problems encountered in an employment context and take responsibility for decisions based upon the results of the enquiry.

PS7. Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation:

Exceptional resources with access to specialist computer suites, CISCO Regional Network Academy networking facilities, Microsoft Professional Training suites, test centres and an open access suite.

The course is broad based, giving a good grounding in current ICT practice and developments. There is the opportunity to pursue areas of special interest through optional modules to focus on computer networking or software development, together with the individual project undertaken at stage 2.

On completion of the Foundation degree, students may progress on to the final top-up-year for their full degree at Camborne or to a range of University of Plymouth Computing BSc Honours degrees which accommodates further specialism.

The college has the Training Quality Standard with Excellence in ICT. There are excellent links with local industry and businesses, through Cornwall College Business. This provides good opportunities for a wide variety of work experiences.

During the Foundation degree, students also study CISCO Certified Network Associate (CCNA) and Cisco Certified Security content. This complementary study prepares students to undertake the industry-recognised qualifications of CCNA and CCNS. This would provide graduates with a unique qualification putting them in a strong position for future employment or career progression.

Successful recruitment record with GCHQ over a number of years.

PS8. Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal, and therefore not absolutely rigid, but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience, functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning:


Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =12

Maximum student numbers per stage =20

PS9. Progression Route(s)

Approved “progression route(s)” are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme. This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to “top-up” to complete a Bachelor degree, but may be employed for other award types.

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award; however progression opportunity, if not available in the first year of application, is guaranteed within 3 years.

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk. It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme. For progression to Plymouth University, should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found. This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University.

1 year degree top-up, BSc (Hons) Computing Technologies, validated by Plymouth University at Cornwall College.

You may also progress to Plymouth University to:

BSc (Hons) Computing

There are no bridging modules that need to be attended for progression.

If you progress to the final stage of a University of Plymouth programme then your stage one marks (level 4) and stage two marks (level 5 modules) will be taken into account in your final degree classification.

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations.

PS11. Academic Standards and Quality EnhancementThe Programme Leader/Manager (or the descriptor) leads the Programme Committee in the Plymouth University’s annual programme monitoring process (APM), as titled at the time of approval. APM culminates in the production, maintenance and employment of a programme level Action Plan, which evidences appropriate management of the programme in terms of quality and

4 Accredited Prior Experiential Learning and Accredited Prior Certificated Learning


http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/

standards. Any formally agreed changes to this process will continue to be followed by the Programme Leader/Manager (or other descriptor) and their Programme Committee.

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders. For this definitive document it is important to define:

Subject External Examiner(s):

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked, consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team.

Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE. Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme.

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager, the awarding body’s partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award.

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme:

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently, twice a year in the Student Review. This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year.

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review.

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders, the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision.

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression, department provision, resources and staffing.

PS13. Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes, Teaching & Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills, at any level of HE , is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised. The interrelated factors of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature, are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods, as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme.

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills, the following table provides a map of the above, plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each. Therefore, subsequent to the initial completion for approval, maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important:
