Students on this course will work in a virtual learning environment, engaging with independent study materials such as online micro-lectures, videos, and reading content (relevant research literature), alongside a series of seminars and workshops that facilitate group discussion, critical-thinking, problem solving, and peer-learning. The seminars and workshops are presented as 'grand challenges', requiring group collaboration and teamworking. As the course progresses, these sessions transition to action-learning sets and to tackling real work-placed challenges.
The course is organised into eight learning units, which offer a strong, critical foundation of knowledge and understanding:
Unit 1: Why Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Matters
Unit 2: Who Do You Think You Are?
Unit 3: Social Influence and Control
Unit 4: Understanding Bias
Unit 5: Confident Conversations
Unit 6: The Minority Perspective
Unit 7: Allyship
Unit 8: Personal Leadership
