Explain and apply the core elements in establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an environmental management system (EMS).

Apply the principles of auditing to the preparation of an audit programme and the planning, execution and reporting of a management system audit.

Assess and recommend appropriate approaches to the integration of various management system standards.

The students will be exposed to a blend of learning activities e.g. online and recorded lectures (via Adobe Connect or similar), independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to address various student learning needs. Moodle will be used to upload educational material (e.g. PowerPoint presentations, recordings of online lectures and supplementary reading material) and a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals). The online delivery may be blended with workshops to bring the learners together to facilitate group learning.

Continuous assessment - 50%, Final exam-50%.

Regular assessments may be undertaken via Moodle and assignments delivered as per module requirements.

Students may be assessed individually or in group environments with a strong emphasis on continual improvement and skill building.

Repeat assessment, where relevant, will involve assignment, assessment or examination that provides evidence that the student has met the subject and topic learning outcomes to the required standard.
