Impact Space: Impact driven minor

Impact-driven Education is a approach to learning that goes beyond traditional methods of consuming information. It encourages students to become active agents in their education by focusing on experiential learning and real-world applications of academic knowledge. This shift in teaching and learning requires teachers to adapt their methods to facilitate a supportive and engaging learning environment. The tutors play an integral role in coaching, guiding, supporting and redirecting students. This approach values the craft of teaching and emphasises the need for collaboration between students, academics, and practitioners.

The Impact Space minor focused on personal development, self-responsibility and building confidence. Students reported that their diverse backgrounds and supportive tutors allowed them to learn from one another and fill any gaps in their knowledge.

The absence of formal exams and compulsory literature created a more flexible and personalised learning experience. Students were encouraged to take charge of their education, invest in their growth, and build confidence through hands-on projects and experiences. The tutors' input and open-minded approach provided the necessary reassurance and support to help students reach their full potential.
