<p>All students have a personal tutor for academic support. The course leader is also available for academic support, as are studio tutors who will provide continuous academic support and assessment scaffolding within a dynamic studio environment.</p>
<ul>
<li>All Music and Music Technology students are automatically placed on the Sandwich version of their course, but make a decision on whether to take up their optional sandwich placement year during the second year of their studies. A presentation by the course leader (or designated placement unit) will advise students of the procedure for identifying a placement for the sandwich year.</li>
<li>The Computing and Engineering placement unit deliver lectures and workshops to students in term 1 of their 2nd year to ensure that suitable arrangements are made for a successful placement search. If successful, the placement unit will allocate a member of staff to visit each student on placement on twice during the placement. Where a placement breaks down permanently, and no alternative placement can be reasonably arranged, a student will be transferred back to the non-sandwich route of the course at the beginning of the next academic year.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>All 1st year students have access to timetabled Peer Assisted Learning sessions, led by 2nd or final year students on similar courses. The content is negotiated between the 1st years and the pair of peer leaders and can cover a range of activities designed to supplement both academic and pastoral support.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The personal academic tutor is also responsible for administering Personal Development Planning (PDP) for his/her tutees. The provision of PDP at undergraduate level is adopted from the 2014 QAA Code of Practice for the Assurance of Academic Quality and Standards in Higher Education, which states PDP should help students ‘to identify their personal, academic and employability development needs, to reflect on their experiences, and to record their achievements.</li>
<li>Responsibility for adhering to the PDP scheme lies with the student. In MMT, skills related to PDP are also built into core and optional modules as follows, and PDP is explicitly identified in learning outcomes in individual modules where possible.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Details of academic and personal support are given in the annually revised Course Handbook.</li>
<li>Teaching staff give notice of their availability to see students through their posting of ‘office hours’ and are contactable by phone and e-mail.</li>
</ul>
<p>AFM1304 Music, Culture and Society develops study skills that underpin all major aspects of the course: time-management, getting the best out of lectures and seminars, research and bibliographic techniques, referencing, clarification of codes of conduct in academic work (including issues of plagiarism), structuring written work, oral presentation, teamwork, PDP, critical thinking and use of C &amp; IT. These research skills are further developed through AHM3519 (Final Year Project – core) and the 'Musical Cultures' suite.</p>
