The IMP offers the following modes of study:
- Taught Modules
We offer an extensive range which can be based at Plymouth University, local professional development centres or a local school.
- Independent Study
Independent study allows individuals to develop projects focused upon particular areas of interest (theory and/or practice based). A student works with a tutor/supervisor in developing his or her proposal and in undertaking a project.
- School-based Professional Development and Enquiry
We increasingly work with a school or cluster of schools on their own professional development or school enquiry programmes. Schools seek support, taught input for specific projects or innovations they are undertaking or researching.
