competing interpretations and experiences. Example activities include tutor and student-led
seminars, student presentations, discussion, questioning and interaction.

issues and professional practices, small group-work in seminars to discuss and debate
contemporary issues, and a tutor supported dissertation based on a research question and design
developed by the student. Students are encouraged to continue developing employability skills
through paid employment or volunteer placements with the relevant agencies.
Assessment
C1-C4 are assessed through coursework assignments which will expect the application of theory to

personal strengths and weaknesses for future learning, developing as appropriate).
6. Programme Specification for MSc Counter Fraud and Counter Corruption Studies Page 4
Learning and Teaching Strategies and Methods
Coursework assignments will expect students to locate appropriate materials from a range of
sources (directed and undirected), to evaluate their utility, accuracy and currency and to use them to
communicate effectively in a wide range of written and discursive formats (D1-D6). All assignments
must be word-processed and students are expected to seek academic and technical sources of help
and advice from a number of sources at different stages of the programme (D2-D4). All students are
required to take personal responsibility for their learning throughout and to plan and deliver
assignments within a framework of paced-study and appropriate deadlines (D6).
Assessment
D1-D6 will be assessed through the coursework requirements for each unit. D5 is assessed through
the dissertation. The system of deadlines and associated penalties for late submission ensures
student planning of time and academic tasks and encourages personal responsibility for own
learning (D6).
15. Course Structure, Progression and Award Requirements
180 credits are required to achieve a Masters degree. Standard University rules apply and the
regulations must be consulted for a full description of exit awards.
The programme operates on a 1 year basis
Units are 30 credits (with the exception of the 60 credit dissertation).
One credit is equivalent to 10 notional learning hours.
16. Employability Statement
Employability skills are delivered (and assessed where applicable) throughout the curriculum. We
provide structured support to enable students to develop their employability skills throughout the
course. Students are also encouraged to undertake voluntary or paid placements with the relevant
agencies in order to gain the practical employability skills and experience required by these
employers. We have extensive links with security and criminal justice related agencies to achieve
this. Career management skills specifically (as a subset of employability skills) will be embedded
throughout the curriculum.
Students are introduced to career management skills (self awareness, professional development
planning, CV development etc) in order to get them thinking about their existing skills and career
plans at our annual study school. There are plenary sessions for students on the further
development of career management skills and this is supported by interactive online exercises and
website resources related to the subject area. Students also have access to an interactive, online
Employability Hub and the ICJS LinkedIn network.
As part of Induction personal tutorials and PDP, we provide further guidance and activities for
students (as part of what are currently termed ‘Pathfinder Exercises’). This is linked to individual
research/project skills related to the core 60 credit dissertation/project and group research/project
skills in core units.
For all students we also run a series of Faculty-wide careers events with employers from a range of
relevant employment sectors during the year and a Faculty Alumni Day. ICJS also runs a Careers
Panel, which invites former ICJS students, who have since gained employment in the relevant
sectors, to return to the university and share their experiences with current students.
All these activities will be supported by the Personal Tutor system and a PDP – developing students
as professionals - Professional Development Planning.
We also provide opportunities for students to engage in work-related learning through active
learning and the application of skills in work-related environments. This consists of an
understanding of working environments and the impact of globalisation on career goals.

20. Assessment Strategy
Units include a wide range of innovative coursework assignments, formative and summative,
including the writing of reports and reviews of different types of research literature. At this level,
assessments are designed to encourage students to draw on a wider range of information sources
and to develop a more evaluative and critical approach to materials. Formative assessment is
undertaken in seminars and small group-work will assist students to develop critical thinking skills
and the feedback provided will help students’ understanding in how to apply this analysis to their
later summative assessments during the consolidation and assessment period.
9. Programme Specification for MSc Counter Fraud and Counter Corruption Studies Page 7
All students undertake a dissertation or extended research study which requires independent
research study and management, supported by a tutor. The Research Methods and Research
Management unit includes a more challenging range of formative and summative assessments
designed to assess students’ critical and analytical skills, and develop their familiarity with a range
of primary sources. Some of the formative assessments will include work-related skills, such as
report writing and writing presentations.
