Higher education course leader here to support

I am currently a course leader within a higher education institute for a performing arts degree.

I have also been responsible for the co-ordination and the delivery of the academic spine module which underpins all learning across three years of an undergraduate degree. The spine module encompasses academic, professional, and personal skills to help prepare learners for careers in the performing arts. The module aligns itself with practical classes so that all learning is relevant and purposeful for the learners. It focuses on significant study skills elements some of which are listed below and which I can also support you within.
