Description	The ways in which national policy affects activities and practices in educational organisations is complex, multi-layered and influenced by a range of factors, including practitioner interpretation and transformation of policy. The Policy into Practice module introduces students to theories, concepts and models associated with policy making and policy enactment, equipping them to analyse the real-world complexities of policy into practice in higher education settings. Across the module students will engage with diverse theories, empirical evidence, and methodologies, alongside a range of international examples that demonstrate the possibilities of policy into practice in higher education settings globally around the world. Drawing on this diverse knowledge, students will map policy and practice in their chosen own context to test out specific ideas and theories and propose a course of action in an applied scenario.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Examine key theories, models and debates associated with policy making and its relationships with disciplinary, organisational and individual practices. Assess and critique the implications of policy-into-practice for organisations, staff and students in relation to dominant and emergent agendas such as excellence, internationalisation, equity and sustainability. Critically evaluate the implications of a specific policy in a specific context and formulate a course of action linked to one or more features of organisational mission.
