Welcome to Anglia Ruskin

Welcome from the Vice Chancellor

The University As an ambitious and progressive university, Anglia Ruskin offers you a vibrant and stimulating environment in which to study as a postgraduate or a professional student. Whether you aspire to further your career prospects, develop a specialist area of interest, or undertake a research project, you will benefit, both personally and professionally, from the highest quality teaching standards, excellent resources and exciting and creative atmosphere on both our Cambridge and Chelmsford Campuses.

Our heritage John Ruskin (1819–1900) was, without question, the leading art critic of the 19th century. But he was far more than that. He was passionately concerned with social reform, as well as the relationship between human beings and society, nature, architecture, craftsmanship and ideas. Ruskin’s ideas continue to shape our society, providing the social philosophical underpinnings for such features as free schools, free libraries and museums, free hospitals, a minimum wage, and care for the elderly. One of Ruskin’s best known works Unto This Last (1860–62) has been described as a book which changed history, inspiring the minds of politicians, philosophers, and authors, including such luminaries as Gandhi, Tolstoy, Proust, and Oscar Wilde.

Anglia Ruskin University’s proud history goes back to 1858 when John Ruskin founded the Cambridge School of Art, now part of our Cambridge campus. Much has been written about John Ruskin whose interests ranged from painting to innovative architecture, and building construction to philosophy. The common themes in his work included an insatiable thirst for enquiry, and creative and unconventional thought. I would like to welcome you to Anglia Ruskin University as a postgraduate or professional student. I very much hope and believe that your studies with us will find these Ruskin themes embedded in the progressive learning we offer. Certainly we value our postgraduate and professional student community for the rich contribution they make to both the academic life and the culture of Anglia Ruskin.

You will find our expertise, like John Ruskin’s, is pretty broadly based. We are the leading postgraduate provider of Business Education programmes in the East of England. Many of our postgraduate students in English and History have gone on to write their own books quite soon after completing their studies with us. We have a clear vision for the future and research will play an even greater part in that future. We want to increase our postgraduate and professional student body as well as encouraging the best of our postgraduate researchers to join our academic staff – as indeed many have done in the past. It has also been a personal delight to witness more and more overseas students choosing to study with us – not least because Cambridge is such an inspirational learning environment. I very much hope you will consider joining us – we are ambitious and determined that Anglia Ruskin University shall occupy a special place among UK universities, and you can help us get there.

In 1858, John Ruskin opened the School of Art in Sidney Street, Cambridge, laying the foundation for the institution which has grown to become the modern Anglia Ruskin University. Some 150 years later, the School of Art still forms part of the University, now much expanded beyond its original confines to include not only its other major campus in Chelmsford but a number of developing partnerships with colleges throughout the East of England.

Whether you aspire to further your career prospects, develop a specialist area of interest, or undertake a research project, you will benefit, both personally and professionally, from the highest quality teaching standards, excellent resources and exciting and creative atmosphere.

Research

Developing research projects

At Anglia Ruskin we are at the cutting edge of new and exciting research in a wide variety of areas. Project teams are constantly striving for excellence through study and practical research; and, through this combined practice, comes the desire to pursue progress and discover. Many of the research and development projects undertaken by the University during the year have attracted the focus of the media, itself a true endorsement of the potential impact of these studies. The University is committed to continuing to develop high-quality programmes and cutting-edge solutions to regional, national, and global challenges. World-class cancer research in Essex World-beating research into cancer is taking place at Anglia Ruskin University which could dramatically change the way that the illness is treated. This work is taking place at the Helen Rollason Cancer Care Research Laboratory, on the Chelmsford Campus, which is now attracting interest from cancer specialists from all over the world. Anglia Ruskin University scientists are looking at ways of stopping breast cancer cells from moving into other parts of the body. If the tumour cells stay in the breast they will not prove fatal - but if they move to vital organs the cancer will be much more difficult to treat. The scientists - who are funded by the Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity - are looking for early signs that the cells will move. Eventually, this work could lead to new treatment being developed to block cells moving. There is also work taking place to find out why some breast cancer cells are resistant to chemotherapy. Again, they are looking for early signs that a tumour will not respond to chemotherapy. This could mean that patients are not put through gruelling and unnecessary chemotherapy sessions as doctors will know beforehand that it will not work. The scientists at the University lab, headed up by Dr Louise Alldridge, have developed a unique partnership with Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust which gives them open and continuous access to human breast tissue. They work alongside surgeons in the theatres at Broomfield Hospital to collect the tissue immediately so they are looking at the tumour exactly as it was in the body. The research lab is the only one in the country to collect tissue in this way. So far the lab has collected more than 100 samples and has already started to see positive results in the research projects taking place. Dr Louise Alldridge said, ‘Early results show that what we are doing is valid and may lead to successful discoveries. If we can stop the cells moving, it will save lives.’

‘Faster’ detection for coronary heart disease In 2002, cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused 39% of deaths, and killed just under 238,000 people in the UK. CVD accounts for nearly two million deaths in Europe each year.

The system, for the diagnosis of critically ill patients in Coronary Care Units, Intensive Care Units and A&E departments, has been developed by Professor Claudio Zizzo of the University’s Faculty of Science & Technology and Dr Aimen Hassani, Consultant Anaesthetist at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford. It uses real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) data for the automatic detection of ischaemia (a decrease in blood supply to the heart, caused by constriction or obstruction of the blood vessels) and acute myocardial infarction (the death of a section of the tissues in the heart, also known as heart attack). Professor Zizzo commented, ‘The ECG is one of the main pillars in the diagnosis of life-threatening heart conditions. It displays electrical changes in the heart and provides information either on printouts or on a monitor display. Computer-assisted ischaemia diagnosis is an emerging technology which helps doctors make a timely patient diagnosis but it requires specialist knowledge to interpret results. The new imaging system creates an image of the heart highlighting any areas with ischaemia thus allowing doctors to make faster and more accurate diagnosis, which is why it is such exciting news.’ Added Dr Aimen Hassani, ‘This new imaging system is going to make a real difference to the many patients whose condition is potentially life threatening. Identifying early a decrease in the blood supply to the heart is vital in the prevention of a heart attack. In this new era of invasive cardiology, this device will offer clinicians a vital opportunity to start treatment early, prevent death or severe illness, and reduce the pressure on hospitals by reducing the length of patient stay and reducing the costs of treatment.’

New genus of monkey discovery A monkey recently described for the first time by a Junior Research Fellow based at Anglia Ruskin University’s Environmental Sciences Research Centre has been assigned its own genus. The news is of extreme scientific significance because it is the first genus of primate to be added to the official ‘taxonomic’ lists for over 80 years. The classification of the kipunji monkey of Tanzania in East Africa is based on work conducted by Trevor Jones and his collaborator Tim Davenport from the Wildlife Conservation Society. In 2005, the scientific community was shocked when an international team of primatologists, led by Anglia Ruskin University’s Trevor Jones, described kipunji as the first new species of monkey to be discovered in Africa for 25 years. The story took a further twist in May 2006 when a team in Tanzania, led by Tim Davenport, created a new genus for this remarkable primate. Trevor was amazed to hear the news, ‘We were very excited when we realised that we were looking at a new species – the news that we actually discovered a new genus is stunning. Since the news has broken, the discovery has caught the attention of many key environmental science groups from around the world.’

To help make progress with another major health issue, researchers from Anglia Ruskin University have developed a new medical imaging system which advances the accuracy of the diagnosis of coronary heart disease.

At Anglia Ruskin, we’re committed to providing a sympathetic and supportive environment for all of our students. We provide you with as much practical help and advice as we can, helping you make the most of your learning experience.

Student support

You’ll be assigned a member of academic staff as your Personal Tutor and it is a good idea to keep in touch. You can talk to him or her about anything – from your academic progress to personal issues.

We’ll make sure your health is well cared for too. In Cambridge we have a Medical Centre on-site, staffed by GPs and Practice Nurses. The Centre provides a general practice service for students and staff who register as patients. In Chelmsford students are able to benefit from the services of a local GP Practice based on our Rivermead campus. Students can also consult our Campus Nurse, who is based in Student Support Services. The Nurse organises a range of health promotion activities and offers a comprehensive, confidential range of personal health advice services, including finding dental and optical treatment for students.

Student Advisers

Equality and diversity

Personal Tutors

International Office The International Office has a team of specially trained advisers who can provide information on a range of issues from immigration requirements and tuition fees to health and working entitlements while studying in the UK.

Personal Development Planning (PDP) As part of your course, you’ll be encouraged to engage in personal development planning, to help you get the most out of your course. Your course tutors will explain the precise form that this will take on your course, but it is likely to include aspects such as: personal development; monitoring your progress against a range of subject and generic/transferable skills; updating your CV. Engagement in this process will help you feel more in control of your development and also to become more focused about your future plans. It should also encourage you to take full advantage of the wide range of opportunities, initiatives, and support on offer to you, to help maximise your learning and earning potential.

Counselling At times anyone can find things get on top of them. We understand that, so we provide a free confidential counselling service in a relaxed, friendly setting. Here, you can talk freely to an experienced, professionally qualified counsellor, in a way not always possible with friends or family and share thoughts with someone who listens without passing judgement.

Childcare facilities We recognise that childcare arrangements are vitally important if you wish to study effectively. You can benefit from using nursery sessions from our in-house Anglia Ruskin Nursery, based on the Cambridge Campus, or from the Kiddi Caru private nursery located a few hundred metres from our Rivermead Campus in Chelmsford. In some cases, financial hardship grants or a bursary towards the cost of childcare fees may be available. Our Student Adviser (Children and Families), who is based at Chelmsford, is happy to help you plan your childcare by providing information about local providers and the sources of financial support that may be available to you.

Alternatively you can call our Contact Centre on 0845 271 3333 or email answers@anglia.ac.uk When you accept your offer you will be responsible for the payment of fees. Fees are normally paid annually in advance although it is possible to make an application to the Financial Credit Controller to pay by instalments. If your employer is sponsoring your course of study, we will require written evidence of this, together with invoicing details.

Support with finance If you get into financial difficulties at any time, you can get help and advice from our Registry and Student Support Services staff in complete confidence. Funding may be available for some full-time courses but, unfortunately, many postgraduate students have to fund themselves as the Government does not provide an official framework of financial support for postgraduate studies in the way that it does for undergraduate.

Prospects The essential guide to funding further study may provide useful information about possible sources of funding. Visit www.prospects.ac.uk for more information.

Career Development Loan Scheme Some courses may be eligible for the Career Development Loan scheme operated by some of the major banks; information on this scheme is available from the Department for Education and Skills website: Visit www.direct.gov.uk and search for Career Development Loans for more information.

Grants Register Prospective postgraduate students can also seek funding from charities and trust funds: The Grants Register (available in Student Support Services on both campuses and also in the reference section of your local library) gives details of trust funds and charities that offer grants for postgraduate study. Prospective students should be aware, however, that most grants offered are relatively small.

Access to Learning Funds The University’s Access to Learning Fund gives grants to UK students for course-related expenses but does not make awards for tuition fees. Further information is available from the Financial Aid and Advice teams in Student Support Services.

International students can obtain details about living costs in the UK from the Anglia Ruskin International Office (see page 16 for details).

Students with children Students with young children can contact Student Support Services for information about possible sources of assistance with the cost of childcare. To ensure they receive all the help available, it is essential that prospective students with children contact Student Support Services well before their course commences. Students with children can also apply for an award from the University’s Access to Learning Fund.

Employment Bureau Many students find they need to work to support their studies. The Employment Bureau, which has a branch on both the Cambridge and Chelmsford campuses, can help you gain part-time work during term time or temporary holiday work. The Employment Bureau also liaises with local employers to secure permanent career opportunities and work placements for graduates and final year students. In addition, they also offer information on employment law, current legislation, national minimum wage, NI, and tax. Details on working entitlements for international students can be found in the International Prospectus available from our Contact Centre.

International students It is no surprise Anglia Ruskin attracts students from Europe, South East Asia, North and South America and many other countries from around the world.

Opportunities for international students

There are also a large number of international students already studying in the UK who choose an Anglia Ruskin postgraduate programme. All our programmes are designed, taught, and supported by academic staff who are experts in their fields and who draw on their research and links with the wider academic community, professional networks, and business organisations, to provide career development and specialisation in a select number of fields of study. Our postgraduate programmes give you the best opportunity to achieve your ambitions. International Student Support Service

Career opportunities

• Advice on health and working entitlements during and after your studies.

Specially trained Careers Advisers will discuss future employment opportunities with you and facilitate contact with potential employers. Most students from within the European Economic Area have no restrictions on their working entitlements. For other nationalities, there are a number of specific Government schemes to enable students to stay on in the UK and work after their studies. The most recent Government initiative is the International Graduates Scheme that allows students who successfully complete their course after May 1 2007, in any academic subject, to extend their visa to work in the UK for a maximum of 12 months. Further detail about the scheme is available from the International Student Support Service.

• Welfare advice in case of emergency or other difficulties.

Extending a warm welcome

• Social events for international students.

The key to your success often lies in the adjustment period when you first arrive and in your ability to use English as the language of study. For us, high-quality pre-arrival information is a priority, as are the first few weeks after your arrival, until you are settled into your new life. To help you settle we will introduce you to your new environment, Anglia Ruskin staff, and other students. We know that organising your new life is an exciting challenge, so we’ll help you by providing:

International Student Advisers on both campuses offer a range of specialist services to our international students. It is our job to make sure that your time with us is a positive, rewarding, and successful one. Services include: • I mmigration advice on arrival at Anglia Ruskin University including police registration (if required). • Visa extension advice. Applications to extend student visas can be sent by the International Student Advisers to the Home Office using the Student Batch Scheme.

This course is suitable for people from a wide variety of academic and professional backgrounds, including educators from the state and private sectors in both Foreign Language Teaching and in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, language testers, curriculum developers, materials writers, and others involved in teaching and learning languages. The TESOL route is specifically for teachers of English as a second language, and helps to provide an in-depth understanding of current theories about the English language systems and how languages are taught and learned.

Course content The MA offers a combination of the theoretical aspects of language teaching and learning and their practical application. The course consists of four 30-credit Level M modules plus a 20,000-word, 60-credit dissertation taken at the end of the course. The current modules are: Syllabus Design and Materials Development; Second Language Acquisition; Language Teaching; Postgraduate Research Methods; The Language System; and Discourse in Society. You may substitute a module from another MA programme for one of the four modules, or you may take an independent learning module on a topic of your choice. Successful completion of the taught modules qualifies you for a Postgraduate Diploma. For a full MA you must have completed a 60-credit dissertation. The course is organised on a semester basis running from September to December (modules one and three) and February to May (modules two and four). The dissertation is written after completion of the fourth module.

Arts Management (MA, PGCert, PGDip)

The MA covers the essential core skills required to manage arts and cultural organisations in the 21st century. The programme is aimed at those who are wishing to enter a career, or further an existing career, in arts management.

Methods of teaching and learning The emphasis throughout this programme is on student participation and on collaborative activity. The major part of in-class learning is in the form of seminars, either staff or student led, which explore and analyse theories, approaches, techniques, and materials. You will be expected to undertake substantial reading and investigation in preparation for the seminar sessions, either on an individual or group basis. Each module has a module guide, containing details of the programme, the relevant resources, the assessment, and specific advice on independent study.

Assessment Modules are assessed by assignments of 6,500 words or equivalent. Assessment takes a variety of forms emphasising self-reflection and practical application wherever possible eg essays, case studies, projects, small-scale empirical studies, or portfolios. The final dissertation (60 credits) is a maximum of 20,000 words or equivalent (where a project/study is chosen).

Benefits to your organisation This course is of benefit to educational institutions based in the private or state-run sectors of education of many countries. For example, we have non-native speaker students, who plan to teach in higher education in their home country. Some students who have already been teaching consider the course part of their in-service training. In these cases, postgraduates gain a qualification which provides them with the opportunity to take up posts with greater responsibility and scope. It is also of benefit to Teachers of English as a Foreign or Second Language who would like a vocationally oriented course for career enhancement.

Special features The TESOL route has been designed so that it can be taken at certificate level - two modules; diploma level - four modules; or MA level four modules and dissertation.

It enables you to gain a broad understanding of the institutions and major players, which influence the cultural, political, social, and economic environment in which arts and cultural organisations operate. The programme is designed to provide you with a toolkit of key business skills including marketing, business planning, finance, IT, and fundraising. The work experience element allows you to apply the business skills learnt in a practical context.

Core modules are: The Arts Environment; Management of Creative Practice (1); Marketing and Communications; Arts Financial Management; Management of Creative Practice (2); Business Planning, Strategy and Operations; Arts Fundraising and Sources of Income; and an option module.

Work Placement All students have the opportunity to transfer the skills and knowledge gained through academic study by undertaking a work placement with a cultural organisation. This provides valuable experience and enables understanding of arts-based environments first hand, developing competence in dealing with issues and challenges presented. Students who successfully complete the certificate and diploma stage are eligible either to progress to the final masters stage, or be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Arts Management. The masters stage can be undertaken by conducting a work-based learning project (based on the placement experience) and a research dissertation, or by one large research-based dissertation only.

Methods of teaching and learning Most teaching will be delivered through lectures and seminars, which will draw upon a number of different sources and take a variety of forms. Most lectures will be delivered within the Ashcroft International Business School (AIBS), but also include a range of visiting practitioners from the arts and cultural sector.

Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more information

Seminars are focused on case study workshops and group/individual presentation activities.

Assessment Most modules are assessed by assignment, but there may also be group and individual presentations and project work.

Organisations who offer placements to our students usually find that key projects and activities can be undertaken by them with excellent results.

Special features The programme has strong links with a wide range of arts organisations in fields across the performing and visual arts. They provide both visiting speakers and offer placements to students on a regular basis. Key academic staff on the programme are also practitioners/consultants, which ensures a meaningful and current perspective is placed on academic concepts delivered throughout the course. We are also a member of the influential European Network of Cultural Administration Training Centres (ENCATC), which positions the Arts Management Programme in an international context.

This unique programme, validated in 2000, is founded on the principle that ‘pictures are the most intelligible form of learning that children can look upon’ (Bishop Comenius 1657). And as an area of visual endeavour with such a rich tradition, particularly in the UK, it is worthy of the opportunity to study and practice at masters-level. The course has evolved through the notable successes achieved in this field at both national and international level by our BA (Hons) students. The programme encourages students to create an outstanding body of work in the field of illustration for children.

Course content This programme is taught by established practitioners of the art of illustration. Students make contact with a range of leading artists and publishers in the field, while developing a body of visual work to the highest standards. The graduation exhibition is held at a London gallery, with an invited audience of publishers of children’s books. The course also features field trips and group excursions (eg Bologna Children’s Book Fair), and we work closely with a number of publishers. The programme has recently collaborated with the Faculty of Education at Cambridge University (Homerton College) on a series of research seminars titled, Words About Pictures, Pictures About Words. This series involved MA and PhD students from both universities coming together to share ideas about visual literacy from the art and education perspective. The series also featured presentations from leading artists Quentin Blake and Charlotte Voake, as well as the writer Martin Waddell.

Staff Staff include: Resident Visiting Professor, John Lawrence (one of Britain’s best-loved book illustrators); BAFTA award-winning animator and illustrator Jonny Hannah (MA, RCA); leading author/illustrators David Hughes and James Mayhew; children’s writer, Tony Mitten; and rising star Katherina Manolessou. These are in addition to core staff Martin Salisbury and Chris Draper. We emphasise the importance of an authorial approach to the subject and include input from professional writers, but do not expect all students to be successful writers.

Methods of teaching and learning One to one teaching, feedback from staff about ongoing project work (projects are developed through negotiation), group critiques and seminars, lectures, and presentations.

Assessment Assessment takes place at the end of each semester when students submit their visual work along with a short essay. The main written element of the programme is submitted for the penultimate module (the Diploma Review). This is followed by the 60-credit masters project.

Benefits to you You will be working in a stimulating studio environment where the creative development of the individual student is at the centre of the programme. The course provides opportunities to meet with leading publishers, artists, and writers. The graduation exhibition takes place at a leading London gallery.

Benefits to your organisation The publishing world has already benefited substantially from the flow of talent which has emerged from the BA Illustration programme. The masters programme builds on this foundation, nurturing authors and illustrators of the highest calibre. Many recent graduates have gone on to sign multiple book deals with publishers in the UK and abroad.

Links with industry or business The course has developed close links with the Children’s publishing industry.

Students are fully supported through research methods training and course tutors who are both theatre scholars and practitioners.

Course content

Benefits to your organisation

The course seeks to blur the traditional distinctions between theory and practice: ideas are developed, tested, and articulated by and through creative work. Taught sessions aim to integrate critical analysis with practice-based exploration. The degree is modular in structure and core study focuses on theatre and performance theory, analysis and criticism, and the strategies and techniques of contemporary theatre practice. Areas of specialisation and development might include: Performance and Live Art; Interdisciplinary Creative Practice; New Directions in Theatre Writing; Directing, Devising, and Intercultural Theatre. Teaching and learning are based around studio practice and research. Students will be encouraged to develop and test their understanding of the discipline through creative practice. This process is supported through a range of lectures, seminars and tutorials, focusing on critical understandings and theoretical contextualisation. Students are allocated a Personal Tutor for the duration of their study, with who they can discuss their academic and personal progress on the degree. Students are encouraged to see live performance and other associated art events whenever possible.

Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more information

Students are assessed through coursework submitted at the end of each module. Typically this will be made up of essays, evaluations and/or practical projects with accompanying documentation. The degree culminates in the submission of a Major Project, which can be entirely theoretical or it can explore practice as research. You will have the opportunity to develop practical skills in conjunction with academic understanding. With our emphasis on versatility, innovation, intelligence and creativity, graduates offer a diverse and exciting range of skills to employers in a variety of areas. A postgraduate award in theatre will be of direct benefit to those seeking employment in the creative industries, education, or further academic study at PhD level. But it will not limit your options to a theatre or arts-based career. Research shows that the study of theatre to an enhanced level provides the ideal training for any position requiring quick thinking, self-reliance, creativity, teamwork, and the ability to organise both yourself and others.

Methods of teaching and learning

Assessment

The skills and knowledge developed through this course will be relevant to a wide range of potential employers, both inside the creative industries and to organisations seeking creative and innovative employees.

The Masters Degree is divided into three stages. The certificate stage provides a firm foundation of the nature, role and function of those operating in the corporate governance environment. It provides grounding in disciplines that provide the basis for progressive management practice in compliance with the law, developing best practice, taking overall responsibility for the corporate secretarial function, handling the responsibilities of corporate administration in both strategic and functional contexts and the skills of corporate financial planning.

Course content

Benefits to you

Special features

The programme contains modules in: Corporate Governance; Corporate Secretaryship; Strategic Financial Management; Comparative European Company Law; Research Methods; Staff Management; and Trusts and Pensions.

Aspiring chartered secretaries are likely to be employed in a senior position in their respective organisation and will face many challenges requiring the application of a variety of sophisticated cognitive and practical skills. Successful completion of this programme will provide you with the opportunity to develop your cognitive skills to a level where you are able to contribute to the demands of practice. With regard to practical skills, whilst the confines of an academic environment cannot fully be compared to professional practice, many of the skills required to be successful as a student are similar to those required for success in the workplace.

This programme is a ‘dual’ qualification leading to a Masters Degree in Corporate Governance (awarded by Anglia Ruskin) and graduate membership of the ICSA (Grad ICSA).

The diploma stage represents the complexities of strategic implementation for those in a corporate secretarial function. Structure is designed to build on the certificate stage and to enable you to consider issues externally as you consider the development of a business strategy. This stage also incorporates an underpinning module to facilitate successful completion of the dissertation, but also to develop further the skills necessary to undertake assessments successfully at the diploma stage.

The assessment methods will be varied to enable an appropriate and effective testing of the learning outcomes of modules and the wider expectations and demands of the course. Assessment will seek, where appropriate, to relate current academic and practitioner thinking to the changing demands of practice. Methods used will include: reports; individual and group presentations; informal question and answer sessions; formative and summative written and oral contributions, and examinations.

The masters stage is an opportunity to demonstrate strategic thinking and an intellectual contribution/critique within the corporate governance domain.

Plus one option from the following list: Language; Accounting for Non-Financial Managers; or Company Law for Non-Law students.

Methods of teaching and learning Students who enter the programme will hold undergraduate awards in cognate disciplines and, therefore, the emphasis of the teaching and learning strategy will be to ensure that you are able to raise your level of engagement to that commensurate with postgraduate study; to apply your studies to enable you to deal with ill-defined and complex challenges in practice and to satisfy the requirements of the professional body, ICSA. To facilitate this, teaching and learning methods will include lectures, tutorials, seminars, case studies, and presentations (both group and external-speaker led).

Assessment

These include: application of knowledge and skills to new settings; being proactive; being adaptable; managing one’s time and operating effectively; being self–directed; and taking personal responsibility.

Benefits to your organisation You will benefit from the development of ‘transferable skills’. These will have a currency which transcends the curriculum to a wider field - your organisation. This programme will enable you to develop your existing skills and acquire and develop higher skills which will be of great utility to your organisation. Indeed, previous students have commented on how they have been able to take the skills learnt in one session and apply them immediately the following day in their own organisation. Specifically, your organisation will benefit from the development of confidence to enable you to work both independently and as a member or leader of a group; to show flexible and creative approaches to problem solving; to communicate clearly and appropriately; to produce output that is literate, numerate and coherent, and to manage information in a range of media.

Careers On successful completion of this programme, participants obtain a valuable Masters Degree. Evidence from previous successful graduates indicates that this degree has been beneficial and significant in the development of their career progression.

Links with industry or business AIBS has significant links with international partners. These include: Malaysia, Trinidad, Germany, Holland, and others. These links are resulting in applications to this masters programme. One benefit of this is that it enables comparative consideration of various aspects of the programme and a sharing of ideas and culture. This enables and develops the reflective ethos of the course and further identifies issues of ‘best practice’.

This programme will prepare you for a career as a chartered secretary through the standards of the professional body, ICSA.

The Department of English, Communication, Film & Media at Anglia Ruskin combines commitment to teaching and student support with a vibrant research culture. The Department was awarded an ‘Excellent’ in the last national assessment of teaching quality and a ‘5’ (the second-highest grade obtainable) for English in the last Research Assessment Exercise (2001). This places us amongst the top departments in the country for teaching quality and research expertise. Course content The MA in English is focused on three periods of literary history: the Renaissance; the ‘long’ 19th century; and the 20th century. Each of the three period-based modules is structured around a particular theme and investigates the social and cultural contexts of literature. The fourth module is a research methods module which equips students with the skills needed to complete their dissertations. Module One: Renaissance Drama and Cultures of Performance This module focuses on plays produced during the English Renaissance. These texts are approached through what can be known of the staging and printing conventions of their original period, together with related materials such as anti-theatrical writings and masques. The module also considers the differing contexts of the commercial theatres and the court as well as cultural contexts such as gender, politics and power. This historical study is complemented by a consideration of the production of Renaissance drama in 20th (21st) century performance contexts.

Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more information

Module Two: The Long 19th Century: Controversies and Cities This module examines writing produced during the ‘long’ 19th century which relates to or engages with major issues or conflicts of the period, and/or which testifies to the distinctive or representative experience of life in various cities between 1789 and 1914. The controversies are political, religious, social, cultural, and scientific: for example, the political ferment in Britain following the French Revolution and after the Napoleonic Wars. The dominant city is London, but Paris, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Dublin also figure in important and distinctive ways. Module Three: Re-reading Modernism, Practising Postmodernism This module provides a survey of literature in the 20th century and analyses it in a framework of critical and historical contexts. It considers modernism and postmodernism both as cultural epochs and as aesthetic strategies and refers to the philosophies that underpin them. Issues of history, temporality, value, art, society, the city, print culture, the self, gender, and sexuality are explored in a range of literary, theoretical, and performance-based texts. Module Four: Research Methods This module covers the research methods necessary for completion of the MA dissertation. It covers topics such as developing research questions, critical practice and theory, archives, research methodologies, bibliographies, library searches, writing review essays, drafting proposals, and structuring a dissertation. This module provides excellent preparation for the dissertation and also provides an understanding of the literature and research methods in a specific aspect of the discipline of English. The module offers students the opportunity to reflect on the nature of research and the discipline of English.

Postgraduate Independent Learning

Assessment

Project in English In consultation with the MA Convenor students may substitute one module for an Independent Learning Project. This module enables students to work independently on topics not provided within existing modules, subject to the availability of a suitable supervisor. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, projects in creative writing (accompanied by a critical reflection), textual editing, film and literature, science fiction, and topics in contemporary theatre and performance.

We assess each of three period-based modules by means of an essay and a presentation. The Independent Learning Project is assessed by an essay, or equivalent. The Research Methods module is assessed by an annotated bibliography, critical review essay, and dissertation proposal. Essay consultation workshops are built into the MA programme. The dissertation is assessed on the basis of a 15,000-word piece of research.

Modules from other pathways Students may also substitute one module in the second semester for a module from the MA in Communication, Media and Culture, subject to approval. Please contact the MA Convenor for further details. Dissertation This module supports students in the preparation and submission of their MA dissertation. Students may choose any topic which the Department is able to supervise and assess. Topics have included Philip K. Dick, metafiction and contemporary novels, holocaust literature, representations of the shoreline in Victorian literature, mythology and the Romantic poets, animated statuary in Renaissance drama, and an analysis of pageants and court entertainments in the mid-16th century.

Methods of teaching and learning Teaching runs in two 12-week semesters from September to December (modules one and three) and February to May (modules two and four). Each module meets weekly for the duration of the semester for one, 2-hour seminar. Teaching takes place in seminar groups, which are run on a discussion rather than a lecture format. The MA Convenor and the staff team are also available for one-to-one support and advice.

Assessment The course is assessed formally through written work or group and individual presentations comprising the following as appropriate for each module: dissertation; case study; oral presentation; examination; individual/group presentation; and knowledge/work-based assignments.

Benefits to you

In a world which is changing rapidly and where stability is a thing of the past, the HR Manager will be central to the proactive management of the workforce, operating from a strategic viewpoint in terms of the future structure and functioning of the organisation.

The course will benefit those HR Managers who are preparing themselves for senior roles and are seeking to develop their strategic and international perspectives and establish HR as a major influence in the formation of company policy. Specifically, students will gain exposure to a range of cutting-edge HR concepts, increased managerial effectiveness and enhanced process and implementation skills.

Course content

Benefits to your organisation

The course content depends on the specific student’s entry level and method of study. There are three stages in this pathway as follows: Stage one: This aims to introduce the student to the operational level of management and introduce them to a number of key management areas and skills required by those engaged in HRM. Stage two: Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management This stage is specific to individuals wishing to follow a career and gain a qualification in HRM. Stages one and two closely follow the CIPD modules. Stage three: MA Human Resource Management This is the final stage of the pathway, where students are encouraged to approach HRM from a strategic view. They use their organisational practice as a mechanism for critical evaluation of the abstruse concepts involved in the management of the employment relationship.

Methods of teaching and learning

The organisational benefits are in having highly educated managers, able to view issues operationally and strategically and who apply leading-edge solutions to organisational problems. Specifically, your organisation will gain managers who understand and can implement organisational change, HR practitioners who can ‘think outside the box’, offering pragmatic solutions to organisational issues.

Special features The format of the programme will be a mixture of theory presentation, discussion, and practical skill development based on case studies, simulations and structured experiences, which reflect typical HRM issues.

Careers The programme is designed to be academically rigorous whilst maintaining a focus on the skills and knowledge you need for a successful career in HRM. Thus, the MA in Human Resource Management will benefit those individuals who are preparing themselves for strategic and international roles in HRM as a business partner.

Underlying our approach is a strong conviction that managers learn with and from each other in the pursuit of finding solutions to real live problems at work. We, therefore, encourage participative learning methods and work-based assignments so that not only the individual managers benefit from personal development, but their employing organisations also obtain significant benefits.

Two routes are offered through this MA. Route A takes place entirely in Cambridge, while route B involves attendance for one semester at a European university. This semester is known as the ‘Eurocampus’. While at the Eurocampus you take a programme of studies equivalent to those that other students will be taking in Cambridge. The two routes are described separately below.

You have the opportunity to substitute 30 credits with an alternative module or modules, according to availability.

Course content

All students spend one semester studying at one of the partner universities on the Eurocampus, whose location rotates each year. So far, the Eurocampus has been held in Jyväskylä, Bayreuth, Brussels, Cambridge, and Lisbon. This course aims to promote intercultural communication in Europe by providing a deeper understanding of issues of language, culture, and identity.

Route A: Cambridge This route through the MA aims to promote intercultural communication in Europe by providing a deeper understanding of issues of language, culture, and identity among the member states of the EU. You will explore intercultural policy questions fundamental to the development of the EU as it seeks to preserve its cultural and linguistic diversity while aiming for increased harmonisation. You will examine the discourse of different member states on critical social issues. You will acquire methodological tools for understanding language and communication, and you will develop independent, critical analysis, and original thinking within a challenging inter-disciplinary and often multi-national context. This will equip you both for future career opportunities and for further postgraduate research in this area. You will need a good working knowledge of a second language, which can be English in the case of non-native speakers. You will take four 30-credit Level M modules plus a 20,000-word dissertation. Current modules are: Language, Identity and Policy in Europe; Nations and Nationalisms in the New Europe; Discourse and Identity; and Intercultural Relations and Communication.

Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more information

Successful completion of the taught modules (120 credits) qualifies you for a Postgraduate Diploma. For a full MA you must also complete the 60-credit dissertation, which is supported by a Faculty-wide research methods programme. Route B (with Eurocampus): Cambridge/Eurocampus This route breaks new ground in intercultural learning by enabling you to study in an intercultural context in two countries, taught by experts from eight different European countries. Offered in conjunction with seven European partner universities, the programme is known in the network as ‘EMICC’.

You will gain competence in diversity management and ethno-relative thinking. You will improve your critical thinking, develop intellectual creativity and tolerance of ambiguity, and become competent in mediation of culture-bound conflicts and discrimination. In the autumn semester, at the Eurocampus (worth 60 Anglia Ruskin credits), you will be taught by subject experts from eight European universities. Topics include: • Lingua Franca Communication

At Anglia Ruskin, in the spring semester, you take modules worth 60 credits. Modules available include: Nations and Nationalisms in the New Europe; Intercultural Relations and Communication; Intercultural Competence and Graduate Mobility; Migration, Community and Diversity in Europe; Intercultural Management; International Marketing; and an independent learning module. You will subsequently complete a six-week work placement in an intercultural context and a 20,000-word dissertation.

Methods of teaching and learning In preparation for the Eurocampus you will undertake an independent reading programme. The Eurocampus is based on weekly units of learning in which you will be exposed to a variety of learning, communicative and thinking styles according to the cultural background of the lecturer. This is ideal preparation for work and a career in diverse organisations. At Anglia Ruskin learning is in the form of seminars (see route A), which explore and analyse factual and documentary material with an emphasis on student participation and on collaborative activity. You will undertake substantial guided reading and investigation in preparation for seminars.

Assessment The schedule for assessment at the Eurocampus is regular and varied. You must achieve at least 30 ECTS credits (equivalent to 60 Anglia Ruskin credits). With 40 ECTS credits you will gain the Eurocampus Certificate, recognised by all the partner universities in the EMICC network. At Anglia Ruskin modules are assessed by assignments. The final dissertation (60 credits) involves a maximum of 20,000 words.

• Intercultural Communication

The course provides a professional training in music therapy with an emphasis on clinical placements and an introduction to various music therapy approaches. The course aims to train suitably experienced musicians as professional music therapists at masters-level, adhering to the general clinical definition of music therapy within the UK. From September 2006 the MA becomes the qualification to practice and successful candidates will be eligible for registration with the Health Professions Council, which approved the new course following a very successful visit in March 2006.

Course content The current well-established diploma course has an excellent reputation, and is approved by the Health Professions Council (HPC). The new MA will become the qualification to practice and extend to two years. Two aspects of music therapy are central to the music therapy approach in the UK. These are the use of improvised music and the importance attached to the relationship between the patient and the therapist. These elements, which result in the need for rigorous clinical, musical, and psychological training on the music therapy course, underpin the training.

How to apply Application details are available from our Contact Centre.

Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more information

Anglia Ruskin has a specific emphasis upon active improvisation, experiential learning, and psychoanalytically informed practice, as well as developmental approaches. This clearly acknowledges that music therapy involves a relationship between patient and therapist with music forming the basis for communication within this relationship. A video is available about the training course from the Music Office. The training provides background in the study of child development, psychology, psychiatric disorders, theories, and related allied health professions. Musicianship training develops skills in improvisation and voice production.

Benefits to you

Careers

There is a new music therapy clinic at Anglia Ruskin. You will have the opportunity to gain extensive clinical experience both on placement and within the clinic. Historically, the Anglia Ruskin Music Therapy training leads to a high percentage of students gaining jobs shortly after qualification (an average of 85% over nine years). Our experienced staff are well known internationally for their publications, clinical work, research and teaching, and between them cover all the major specialist areas. All the music therapist teachers on the course also hold clinical posts, so connections with the workplace are strong.

Methods of teaching and learning

Students are ideally placed to gain from the richness of the University’s Department of Music and Performing Arts and from our strong links with local clinical music therapy departments. The University also has a newly built Music Department, within which some of the music therapy teaching takes place. The University has a wide range of facilities for students such as learning and other support services, and computing and language facilities, all of which are readily available.

Career prospects are very positive and students can expect to find work easily, although initially this may not be on a full-time basis. Music therapists are employed in the NHS with adults and children with learning disabilities and mental health problems, and in the education sector with people with special needs. Increasingly, music therapists are being employed to work with children and adults in hospices and related outreach settings, and with patients in medical settings. In the NHS, ‘Agenda for Change’ has led to improved job prospects and career paths, and music therapists are employed at levels similar to, or higher than, those of other Allied Health Professionals. Some music therapists also work privately or on a freelance basis in a variety of settings.

The course includes a high component of experiential learning and students are expected to involve themselves in self-reflection, and small and large group activities. These involve both musical activity and case discussion. Work takes place in large and small groups with tutorials and supervision groups forming a central teaching style. There are also formal lectures, seminars and field visits. A large section of the course is devoted to clinical placements in a variety of community and hospital-based settings where students carry out their own casework, supervised.

Assessment Assessment takes place against clear criteria and learning outcomes which students are aware of and prepared for. Assessed activities range from formal essay writing to experiential learning, group learning, clinical improvisation and fieldwork, including clinical placements. Students are also assessed through self-analysis and reflection in discussions with their Personal Tutor.

Special features Successful completion of this course confers both a diploma and an MA. The course offers intensive placements in established clinical music therapy departments which include the opportunity to work with three cases over an extended period of time.

Links with industry or business There are strong international links through staff members, who are widely known for their publications and research profiles. This was commented on in the last Research Assessment Exercise. Visiting Professor Tony Wigram is Head of Research and Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark. We have strong links with this university and with others in Europe, Australia, and the USA. There are Erasmus links with Aalborg and with the Ionian University in Corfu, as well as links with training courses in Spain, Finland, Italy, France, and other countries.

There is an emphasis on experiential learning and you will gain experience of other arts therapies. The programme has strong international and research links.

There is an assessment at the half-way point with one of the external examiners to consider the student’s progress and process towards becoming a music therapist. The final oral assessment involves presenting in-depth casework to two external examiners who are active in the clinical field.

The MA in Public Services Management is designed to provide a critical management education for managers providing public services.

Methods of teaching and learning

The programme is suitable for managers working in a range of organisations that provide services to the community, such as charities, local, regional and central Government organisations, services allied to Government such as taxation, benefit, social and related services, and Customs and Excise. The programme explores fundamental questions and debates about the role, purpose, and organisation of public service provision, in order to enable students to develop a critical stance on the problematic role of managing public services.

Methods and strategies include work-based assignments, written and oral assessments, presentations, individual and group assignments, report writing, and personal portfolios.

Course content The MA is based on the recognition that public services management is distinctive in various ways, such as: its political and organisational context; relationships with customers and citizens; and managers’ sense of ethics and purpose at work. Many principles and practices originating from the private sector may be appropriate and illuminating for the public sector. The MA has a distinctive flavour that includes mainstream management thinking but also embraces broader perspectives on management and organisation, with the aim of developing independent, critical, and creative thinking and practice. The award is divided into three stages: PGCertificate; PGDiploma; and MA. Each stage attracts 60 credits and includes core modules and option modules.

We have particular strengths in conservation biology (including ornithology, entomology, primatology, restoration ecology, invasive species biology), animal behaviour and welfare (including mammalian communication, equine science, and welfare of zoo animals), biogeography, microbiology (insect pathogens, slime moulds), molecular biology (molecular ecology), and cell biology. Two selected examples of recent high-profile research projects include: • Darwin Initiative funded project to create a lasting capacity within Tanazania National Parks (TANAPA) to monitor, manage, and protect the Mikumi elephants. The project is creating an integrated park-wide system for identifying and surveying elephants and training park ecologists, senior wardens, and rangers in the appropriate methods of data collection and analysis. This will allow questions on the behaviour, ecology, and population dynamics of the Mikumi Elephants to be addressed and the extent and consequences of management problems such as crop raiding and poaching to be assessed; • NBN Trust-funded project to monitor the impact of the invasive harlequin ladybird on UK native species of ladybird. The project involves collecting data on the distribution and spread of the harlequin ladybird across the UK and was instigated in 2005, immediately after the arrival of this invasive ladybird.

Two selected examples of high profile research include: • A project on glycation chemistry associated with diabetic pathology and nutritional protection against oxidative damage in ageing and disease. Related long-term research interests relate to the investigation of the oxidative basis and immunological aspects of diabetes and atherosclerosis. This focuses in particular on superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes, wound repair and post-translational modification of proteins by transglutaminase enzymes in vitro and during programmed cell death (apoptosis). • Collaborative project on the molecular interactions that occur within the immune system. The protein interactions that occur between the surfaces of immunological cells that are responsible for coordinating the immune response are fascinating to study and much can be learnt from analysing these interactions. There is enormous potential for antibody interactions to be manipulated for therapeutic application to develop novel treatments for disease states.

Languages & Intercultural Communication

Department of Languages & Intercultural Communication, Faculty of Arts, Law & Social Sciences The Department of Languages and Intercultural Communication has particular strengths in empirical and theoretical approaches to cross-cultural and intercultural communication. These can be broadly categorised under two heads: 1. Linguistic and cultural identities, 2. Cultural and intercultural encounters in the creative imagination. These research clusters cover related groups of activity and colleagues have regularly worked together on joint publishing or conference projects, final products including an international conference on the negotiation of neo-colonial identities held in February 2007. The first category, linguistic and cultural identities, has a focus on evolving identities within rapidly changing communities and on the reflection of these changes in linguistic and cultural patterns of behaviour. Within this context, colleagues have investigated aspects of linguistic practice in the European context of growing mobility. Other research areas are urban multilingualism, language acquisition and learning, language change and diaspora. Postgraduate supervision and support can also be provided in language acquisition, language use, and questions of migration.

The student experience

Alumni Office Helping you to keep in touch Our support services will continue long after you have left Anglia Ruskin. Graduation may seem a long way off but at that time, as a past student, you will become one of our Anglia Ruskin University Alumni. The Alumni Office is here to help facilitate this special new relationship and to help you get the most benefit possible from your links with us and each other. Membership of the Alumni Association is free and automatic upon graduation. Twice a year Aspects, the alumni magazine, is produced especially for our graduates. Filled with articles, news of alumni and information about the University, it is circulated by email or can be viewed on the alumni website. The Alumni Office can also help you to trace student colleagues, organise reunions, promote your business on our webpage, and much more. There are currently around 48,000 Anglia Ruskin alumni worldwide who are still in contact with us so involvement after graduation can be both socially and professionally beneficial.

Anglia Ruskin Students’ Union (SU) Independent and on your side The Students’ Union is run by students for students and exists to ensure you are getting the best out of your student life. We’re independent from the University and monitor academic standards and a variety of issues surrounding your learning – from accessibility of the library through to individual academic appeals. Regardless of the situation, we have students’ best interests at heart.

Advice and support If the stresses of university are getting to you, or you need some advice on anything from your course to housing issues, the Students’ Union runs a confidential, impartial advice service. It holds a Community Legal Services Quality Mark. Whatever your problem, the Advice Service will be able to help you, either themselves, or by pointing you in the right direction. Student welfare is also a priority for the Students’ Union. The Students’ Union works to see students healthy, safe and happy in their personal, social, and academic lives.

For further information about the Alumni Association and the services on offer, contact: Sue Jacobs - Alumni Officer Sharon Wuyts - Alumni Assistant call 0845 196 4710 email alumni@anglia.ac.uk visit www.anglia.ac.uk/alumni

Have an extra-curricular life! The Students’ Union has brand new bars on both campuses. Serving tasty food during the day, they become entertainment centres by night. The programme of entertainments is diverse – we’ve had hypnotists, stand-up comedy, live bands, open mic nights, quizzes, competitions, and also hold themed party nights throughout the year. The Students’ Union runs a huge range of societies for people with similar interests, hobbies or beliefs – Theatre Society, Christian Union, Asian Society, Optics, LGBT, and RAG are just some examples. We also support a wealth of sports clubs from football and rugby to rowing, ski and snowboard and even skydiving! There’s the opportunity to write for the Apex, Anglia Ruskin’s student newspaper.

Research applications

Admission with credit

Research applications

Application First, check the list of subject areas in which supervision is available. You will find an alphabetical listing of these on page 82. Once you have selected your subject area, you must complete and submit an Application Form, including details of your research proposal. These forms are available from our Contact Centre on 0845 271 3333 or email answers@anglia.ac.uk If Anglia Ruskin is able to offer supervision in your chosen area of research, we will write to you with full details of the offer criteria.

Entry requirements To register for a MPhil or MPhil/PhD (subject to candidature), you must normally hold a first or upper second-class Honours Degree or equivalent. To register directly for a PhD or Professional Doctorate you must normally hold a Masters Degree or equivalent, which included training in research. However, if you do not have these qualifications, your application will be considered on its merits in relation to the nature and scope of your proposed study programme.

Other considerations will be your ability, background knowledge, professional experience, and evidence of relevant achievement. All research students register initially on a Research Development Programme pending approval of your research proposal.

Approval With the assistance of your provisional supervisor, you will seek approval of your research degree proposal from the Universities Research Degrees Committee. Approval is normally granted within six months from the date of your initial registration for full-time students.

Length of study Full-time PhD students normally complete within three-four years.

Registration If you decide to accept the University’s offer, you must complete and return the University Registration Form. Fees are payable at this point.

Further information For further information on research programmes please call our Contact Centre on 0845 271 3333 or email answers@anglia.ac.uk

Admission with credit

Anglia Ruskin operates its postgraduate courses within a credit-based, modular system, which offers students some flexibility in the content and structure of their studies. The University is also concerned to offer students mobility in their studies, by recognising relevant learning they may have completed elsewhere, before applying to Anglia Ruskin. This process is referred to as Admission with Credit (AwC). A charge may be made to cover the costs of this service. If you are entering a course through admission with credit this will need to be approved before you start. Admission with Credit will always impact upon the modules which a student takes in a programme of learning, so it is important that you should identify any relevant prior learning when you apply to Anglia Ruskin. This process is also referred to as the ‘Accreditation of Prior Learning’ or ‘APL’, where this relates to learning completed through an earlier course of study, or where learning has been achieved through relevant work or experience, this is referred to as ‘AEL’ ‘Accreditation of Experiential Learning’. The overall term used is ‘APEL’ which covers both prior learning and experience. So, if you’ve already achieved learning in any of these ways, it may be possible for Anglia Ruskin to accredit this within the course you now wish to follow.

Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) APL relates to learning completed through an earlier course of study. If you’ve previously completed a course which is now relevant to your proposed course at Anglia Ruskin, you should make this clear when you apply for admission. The Admission Tutor will assess the level of study to check if the course you did was at a Higher Education level. To be eligible for consideration in this way, you must be able to submit certification, which shows your success in a final assessment for that course. Simple participation in a course, or an Attendance Certificate is not sufficient.

110

Call our Contact Centre 0845 271 3333 for more information

Accreditation of Experiential Learning (AEL) It is important to understand that Anglia Ruskin’s AEL process does not award academic credit for experience alone, but for learning which can be shown to have been achieved through that experience. Students are required to prepare an individual case for the credit arising from their learning experiences. This normally means that a student receives support in the preparation of a portfolio, in which their claim is justified in detail and is supported by relevant evidence. This portfolio of evidence is then submitted to the University for assessment and the possible award of academic credit. Because the process of accrediting prior learning needs to be scrupulously handled, Anglia Ruskin lays out criteria which apply in all cases. In order to help you to comply with these criteria, Anglia Ruskin’s Contact Centre may be able to direct you to specialist advice in your own subject area relating to APL, or an AEL claim. Alternatively, if you wish to find out more about this process before deciding whether it may be applicable to you, we’re always happy to offer advice and answer any questions you or your employer may have.
