Programme structures and requirements, levels, modules, credits and awards: This qualification: Will normally take three years of study. Individual students programmes may vary from this depending on prior experience and learning (APL) and the mode of delivery. Requires the successful completion of 240 credits in total, comprising sixteen modules of either 10 or 20 credits. Page 4of
5 Structure The course will normally be delivered over three academic years (6 semesters) with the student taking 80 credits per year. The guideline for the duration of Foundation Degrees is between 2 and 4 years depending on the mode of delivery. Level One comprises Modules 1 to 8, and Level Two comprises Modules 9 to 16. Year One Module One Community Organisations (10credits) Module Two Administration and Finance (20credits) Module Three Personal Development (20 credits) Module Four Customer Care (10credits) Module Five Strategic Planning (20credits) Year Two Module Six Teamwork (10credits) Module Seven Personnel (20credits) Module Eight Conflict Resolution & Problem Solving (10credits) Module Nine Researching and Managing Information (20 credits) Module Ten Introduction to Social Sciences (10credits) Module Eleven - Urban & Rural Development (10credits) Year Three Module Twelve Social Policy & Inclusion (20credits) Module Thirteen Working in Partnership (10credits) Module Fourteen Organisational Development (20credits) Module Fifteen Project Development, Management & Evaluation (20credits) Module Sixteen Marketing, Promotion and Media Support (10credits) Work-Based Learning There is clear employer involvement, and it is envisaged that most students will already be employees or volunteers within the sector. The curriculum described above highlights the significance of work-based learning in the overall structure of the programme. 8. Criteria for admission to the programme: It is envisaged that entry requirements for the programme will be flexible and that experience in the sector will be taken into account. It is envisaged that students will enter the programme with a combination of GCSEs or equivalent and relevant work experience. Some students will have post-16 qualifications but this will not be a pre-requisite. In suitable cases there will be credit given for relevant prior learning, up to a maximum of 40 credits. This could include previous study or other qualifications, which demonstrate that the student has met the learning outcomes defined in the appropriate modules. Entry is open to local and regional applicants. As there is a large amount of face-to-face teaching on the foundation degree it would not be able to be offered nationally due to attendance commitments. This may change if the course is developed in terms of more flexible delivery methods. Applications will be considered from people with an interest in and experience of related occupations, but who do not possess formal qualifications. Page 5of
6 Mature students, who may have studied on an Access to HE course, will be welcomed. 9. Progression A foundation degree in this area meets a clear market demand for the continuing investment in the knowledge and skills development of the sector. The Learning Curve sets out the aim to invest more in this development of the skills and knowledge agenda. The FD Managing Voluntary and Community Organisations fits that strategy in terms of building capacity to manage within the community. It is expected that this foundation degree will form part of a progression pathway in terms of training for the voluntary and community sector. The design of a bespoke top up route to an Honours degree is being considered. The Institute of Lifelong Learning is also beginning to provide short courses and professional development opportunities for the sector as a way of encouraging learners onto the FD programme. 10. Information about assessment regulations: The programme will be assessed in line with the University of Leicester assessment regulations. All units are assessed within the programme. In order to pass a unit, a student must demonstrate a set of outcomes, described as the assessment criteria. Each module will be graded, based on the student s ability to research, critically evaluate and report on a given subject.. Indicators of quality: The quality of the course is monitored by: Its accreditation by the University of Leicester Board of Studies for the course Reports by an External Examiner appointed by the University of Leicester Student questionnaires and Staff Student Consultative Committee End of module reviews Annual Course Report University Departmental Review 12. Particular support for learning: Student progression on course is supported both by subject tutors and University of Leicester staff and includes: An induction session introducing new students to the subject and the University, including library, staff, computer network and Vaughan College Course handbooks in print and electronic format Study skills sessions Support for students with special needs Appointment of work based mentor Appointment of personal tutor for each student Library Resources: General resources Specialist resources- labs, workshops Specialist software packages Learning Resources: Students will have access to facilities at the University of Leicester, and as full members of the University will have standard library entitlements, computing Page 6of
7 access and Student Union membership. University staff will provide academic and pastoral tutorial support where necessary and the programme will be supervised by a Course Director. 13. Learning and Teaching Development: The course aims to provide a clear development of skills and knowledge throughout the three years of its duration. This includes not only specialist knowledge relevant to the sector but also the development of key skills with relation to communication and ICT. Students will be registered on the Blackboard Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to assist them in further enhancing ICT skills and allowing more flexible communication between students and tutors. Staff will be able to access examples of work and any questions from students via the Blackboard virtual learning environment, and students will be able to access electronic sources of information. Communication between tutor and students, as well as among the students themselves, will be enhanced through the use of Blackboard. 14. Staff Development: A training and development plan will be agreed for tutors on the course, particularly with reference to VLE use. Staff will be able to apply for relevant funding for staff development. The Institute of Lifelong Learning plans to hold a number of staff development sessions for staff on the programme. 15. Disabilities & Additional Needs: Support for students with disabilities and additional needs will be offered, including adaptation of course materials into Braille/large print/tape/disk/other formats; organising mobility training; provision of communication support workers; note takers in lectures/tutorials; assessment of specific support, equipment and software needs; individual/small group tuition for students who have dyslexia; representing students needs to academic and other University departments; organising adapted accommodation to meet individual needs; helping to organise carers to meet any personal care needs; organising appropriate support for students who have a mental health problem. Where a student has complex support or accommodation needs, early notification is strongly advised prior to application.

8 University of Leicester Foundation Degree in Managing Voluntary and Community Organisations Scheme of Assessment and Marking Schedule The standards in this document are written to comply with the principles and practices as set out in: The University of Leicester Code of Practice on Examining for First Degrees The University of Leicester Revised Learning & Teaching Strategy The QAA Foundation Degree Qualification Benchmark (2002) The Programme Specification document for the award What is a Foundation Degree? The QAA Foundation Degree Qualification Benchmark defines the qualification as integrating " academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers and programme providers. Foundation Degrees are vocationally focused and equip learners with the skills and knowledge relevant to their employment and the needs of employers. They also provide a pathway for life-long learning and the opportunity to progress to other qualifications." 3 This scheme of assessment has been written to reflect that definition and aims to apply to students studying the qualification in either full or part-time modes. Assessment All modules on the programme can be assessed through a combination of coursework and/or presentations, the weighting of which for each module is published in the module specification. The module size and credit value will determine the amount and balance of assessment instruments to be used by internal examiners. The key guiding principles are that students: Will be assessed in an open, fair and comparable way across all modules Will be assessed according to the learning objectives and outcomes for each module Will experience a range of assessment methods appropriate to the aims and objectives of the Foundation Degree in Managing Voluntary and Community Organisations as set out in the Programme Specification document Will have the opportunity to seek the accreditation of their prior or concurrent experiential learning (APEL) Will have the opportunity to demonstrate success in gaining key or transferable skills Will have the opportunity to gain assessment evidence in the workplace 3 Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, Foundation Degree: Qualification Benchmark (final draft) November 2002 Page 8of
