Programmes
BA Applied Professional Studies

The LSJS BA in Applied Professional Studies, run in partnership with the University of Greenwich, has been created to cater for experienced Jewish professionals – and in particular, educators – to acquire the qualification of a Bachelor’s Degree.



It is also appropriate for a wide range of administrative, medical and other professionals for whom an undergraduate degree will prove career-enhancing. For many Jewish professionals a large part of the curriculum of a first degree is already second nature. This course awards credits for that knowledge and enables the student to complete an undergraduate degree within one to two years part-time.

Course structure and accreditation

 

BA students will work towards gaining 360 credits in one of the following ways:

 

·                Up to 240 credits can be earned through prior knowledge and experience

·                A further 60 credits can be earned through workbased projects analysing and researching the candidate’s own practice

·                In addition, credits are available for an analytic display of prior knowledge through essays

·                Finally, credits are available for successfully attending courses in Jewish education at LSJS

 

Students may also have the option of taking a management and leadership module offered by Birkbeck instead of one the four modules listed above.

 

The research essay, worth 60 credits, can be a theoretical investigation or a piece of action research in your own workplace.
