Making the Most of Masters: Employer Engagement in the Postgraduate Student Experience

Allford, Rosemary

Abstract

Making the Most of Most of Masters (MMM) began in 2011 as a pilot programme designed to test and embed the use of external Work Based Projects (WBPs) as an alternative to the traditional academic Masters dissertation. Such has been the success and impact of MMM that it is now firmly embedded within the three original partner Universities and expanded across Scotland to a total of eleven strategic partners across Scotland (9 universities, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the Scottish Funding Council) promoting further innovation in advanced graduate work-based learning.
