The school has for the last few years being recommending, on certain courses, that first year students enrol on the Flying Start programme before joining their course. A specific masters version has been running in the Institute for Creative Leather Technologies (ICLT) for several years; this year the concept has been rolled out across the school.
The Flying Start programme consists of a mix of interactive-lectures, workshops, discussions supported by experienced academic tutors and looks at academic skills appropriate to the level of the students. In this case the emphasis is on what is expected of a masters student. This programme is not meant to replace the work course tutors do; but to complement and support what is done in the class.
