Approaches to Work-Based Learning in Higher Education provides a comprehensive introduction to the delivery of university-level work-based learning (WBL) for educators and policymakers. The contributing authors draw from their wealth of experience of developing apprenticeships, placement programmes and other work-based learning opportunities, advising on best practice when delivering learning in partnership with industry.

Supported by a unique balance of practical and theoretical insight, including international perspectives on how common challenges may be addressed, this essential volume explores the following key themes:

  • Pedagogies – this section outlines established best practice in delivery of WBL for higher education and offers suggestions for how readers may continue to develop and improve their provision.
  • Projects – this section covers a range of approaches to work-based learning within higher education and explores examples of this in practice, including live briefs, work placements and industrial project-based learning.
  • Apprenticeships – this section focuses specifically on work-based degree programmes, covering their design, delivery, implementation and assessment.

A must-read for anyone working within higher education policy or practice, this book provides readers with the tools to successfully navigate work-based learning, as well as strategies for ensuring and enhancing the quality of the learning experience.
