Content
Development-focused practical training includes coaching meetings in thematic or project-specific small groups. The coaching sessions include literature reviews, blog posts and articles to support and advance the practical training experience, as well as webinars that are linked to advanced studies. Information sources and materials sourced at this stage can be used later in thesis-writing on relevant topics. Students can complete the majority of the final stage studies as RDI or work-based learning, in which case the subject-specific coaching is implemented in a group setting and various learning environments.
