Annual Programme Monitoring - Faculty Commentary and Action Plan

A: General Overview

A.2 Best Practice Examples for University-wide Dissemination

agility through developing students' flexibility to perform across styles and cope with demanding professional scenarios. The MA Applied Linguistics (International) develops agility through problem-based approaches and flexible learning modes (online/offline, peer/self-directed) are used to build adaptability. The Prof Dip Digital Content Development teaches students to be adaptable to audience needs through UDL, plain language, and accessibility guidelines is treated as a core "agile" capability.

· Courageous: The MA Creative Writing cultivates "creative bravery" through sharing work publicly, writing into uncertainty, and persisting through critique and revision. The MA Ritual Chant and Song bolsters courage through developing its students' ability to perform unfamiliar repertoires (including medieval languages/notation) and potentially undertaking fieldwork with practitioner communities. The MA Journalism fosters courage by encouraging its students to feel ethically grounded and confident to innovate; students engage real subjects and the risks/responsibilities of reporting. The MA Peace and Development Studies pushed its students into reflexive, ethically complex debates on inequality and power, which are framed as both responsible and courageous.

· Curious: The MA International Studies, MA Politics, and Structured PhD Politics bolster curiosity via confronting real-world problems through research methods, argumentation, and critical analysis. The MA Irish and Global Conflict History supports curiosity through immersive field research (site visits/museums/archives) and seminars with visiting scholars. The MA Ethnomusicology, MA Ethnochoreology, and dance studies programmes embeds curiosity by combining theory and practice and also by generating original field/practice research projects. The MA Creative Writing cultivates curiosity by treating creative challenges as open questions, drawing on traditions and interdisciplinary influences.

· Responsible: The MA Journalism develops responsibility through law/ethics and day-to-day engagement with people who may be harmed by malpractice. The MA Technical Communication and E-Learning and Prof Dip Digital Content Development frames responsibility as producing accessible, ethical content; SDG alignment and inclusivity are explicitly referenced. The GCert/PD/MA in Learning, Teaching and Scholarship embeds responsibility through critical evaluation of material (ethics, equality, diversity, inclusion, open educational practice) within blended delivery. CWELL fosters responsibility through its strongly community-facing design, where the curriculum is co-authored with communities, and by positioning students as co-creators and "drivers of social change" who are asked to produce reflective portfolios and public presentations. The MA Ritual Chant and Song incorporates responsibility through ethical engagement with living/historical sacred traditions and cultural sensitivity (e.g., observational visits and repertoire contexts).
