This book will help work-based students to successfully navigate academia. It is a hands-on guide for learners, helping them to get the most out of their university experience. Real-life case studies and useful activities are embedded throughout; they illuminate the routes to university qualifications based on workplace activity. Many universities and colleges now offer work-based learning routes as flexible, innovative ways to obtain degrees and other HE awards. This book serves as an excellent companion and workbook for such courses of study as well as providing an invaluable introduction to 21st century higher level study for employees.
