Some principles for developing work-based learning at programme level

Where work-based learning is appropriate, it should be included in a programme of study to enable students to achieve specific work-related learning outcomes.
Work-based learning outcomes should have parity with academic learning outcomes.
Work-based learning should support the award learning outcomes, and not be seen as a an extra.
Where appropriate, work-based learning assessment should be integrated within the programme and not just confined to specific courses.
Work-based learning should offer new or specialised learning opportunities within existing programmes of study.
Work-based learning can offer added value learning opportunities which may be particularly appropriate for employment and careers.
There must be links with relevant authorities and chambers, or other occupationally relevant external agencies.
