The Partnership Master's Programme allows working people to study for university qualifications ¿ Master¿s degrees ¿ without leaving their jobs.
It is a three-way partnership between you, your employer and the University. Much of the learning comes from projects that form part of daily work, which minimises the time spent attending University and ensures that the knowledge gained is relevant to your employer¿s business.
How long does it take?
The time you take to complete your studies is up to you and is not tied to the academic calendar. It depends on the point at which you enter the course and your personal circumstances at work and at home.

Contents
A Partnership Programme degree comprises four elements:
* Accredited Prior Learning
* Learning Management
* Work-based Learning Projects
* Taught Units
Accredited Prior Learning (APL) allows you to receive credit for the qualifications you already have and for experience that has given you the learning equivalent to academic qualifications. This can include in-service training courses and qualifications, as well as learning from on-the-job experience. To claim credit for experiential learning you have to submit a portfolio of evidence matching your knowledge and skills to units in the University’s Taught Units Database.
The maximum APL credit you can receive is two thirds of the credit for the award.
Prior Learning Portfolios should be submitted as soon as possible, to allow time for assessment before registration.
Learning Management is a credit-rated unit. It is the linking thread for your studies. In this unit, you will write a learning contract and amend it as necessary if circumstances change. You will work to the contract plan and deliver your evidence (reports, reviews or other items) on the dates you have specified.
Work-based Learning Projects usually make up the bulk of the learning contract. They must involve new learning for you, so they cannot be simply the activities involved in your regular job. However, they should be of value to your employer as well as yourself and you should be able to carry out much of the project work in normal working hours.
Taught Units from the University of Portsmouth or other higher education institutions can be included in your programme. They are a good way of acquiring new knowledge in a structured way. They are delivered as part of the University’s normal teaching provision and are not run by the Partnership Programme.
