Progression pathways from ATHE qualification to the University of Portsmouth
ATHE qualifications allow learners to progress to Learning at Work, which allow learners to study while working, so saving travel costs, as all learning is via distance learning. Learners study a combination of mandatory modules, work-based projects and optional modules. We allocate credits for each ATHE qualification, so you study remaining credits to achieve your Degree or Master’s Degree. For example, if you have studied ATHE Level 7 Extended Diploma in Strategic Management, you could receive 120 credits at level 7, so leaving you to study 60 credits to achieve your Master’s qualification. (RPL is not formally agreed until your application form is assessed)
These Learning at Work degree pathways provide the following benefits to ATHE learners:
Gain a university qualification without taking a career break
Opportunity to achieve professional recognition
Tailor your learning to suit you and your employer
You don’t need to attend University, saving on accommodation and travel costs
Your existing knowledge can count towards your degree, which reduces the amount of time you need to study and the cost
All teaching and learning materials can be found on our Virtual Learning Environment, which can be accessed anywhere at anytime
Course Structure:
You have the unique opportunity to determine the content, which consists of work-based projects and optional taught modules.
Your study will consist of:
1) A Learning Management module – which helps you plan your learning and prepare you for doing research and writing reports
2) Distance Learning taught modules – a selection of modules ranging from Business to Engineering to Health and Safety and many others
3) Work-based learning projects – these are projects selected by you that are based in work, benefit both you and the employer
