Expectations and Consequences of Joining a Midwheb Module
The majority of our teacher-researchers enjoy an excellent experience which impacts upon them and their work in a positive way.
Midwheb partnership modules are offered at a much-reduced rate compared with other Postgraduate University programmes, using a Training and Development Agency subsidy for course completion. Programmes are designed to impact upon practice and for participants to gain post-graduate qualifications for their development work. We have a very high success rate because of this expectation.
Signing of the application is a form of contract. Please be aware of the following:-
• You will be expected to appoint a work based advocate, of your own choosing, to progress your work in school.
• Assignments must be completed within the year unless sudden or unexpected circumstances occur such as illness, or a change of role. (in which case a brief deferral may be applied for at www.mdx.ac.uk/24-7) Failure to submit may cause the University to reclaim the TDA subsidy from you to cover its financial loss.
• Withdrawal from University programmes is only permissible in the first three weeks of a module. Failure to take part after that date is deemed to be a failure on your academic record. The University genuinely assumed that you want to complete a module you have applied for.
• You will be expected to pay the fees and any other debts that you may have with Middlesex University. (see above)
• You will need to check in online at https://misis.mdx.ac.uk
• You will need the use of a computer and access to the internet and e mail. This is provided via Middlesex University facilities but having your own is a great advantage. Most communication will be through e mail. You are expected to check it at least weekly.
