Karen Findon

I am an Academic Skills Tutor within the Faculty of Business and Law (BaL) working with Undergraduate and Postgraduate students.  I support students who are on non standard programmes such as the Degree Apprentices and other students who are also working and studying part-time. 

My research project for my PGCHE was about encouraging part-time working professional students to engage in a ‘Students as Partners’ programme focused on curriculum co-design of an Academic Skills Course.  My research supervisor and I published the findings -
