The Centre for Professional Practice will be hosting an Open Lecture by Dr Mike Nicholls on the topic of Work is the Curriculum.

‘Work based learning’ has been described as ‘a mode of learning and field of study allied to the Social Sciences’ (Portwood, 2000), while Boud and Solomon (2001) maintain that ‘work is the curriculum’, and that it is the workplace and not an academic discipline which frames work based learning.

The presentation will chart the professional journey of a traditionally trained natural scientist seeking to harmonise these polarised views of work based learning in generic Professional Studies university programmes. Seats are limited so please email cppmedway@kent.ac.uk to reserve a seat by Friday 22nd May 2015.
