Module ILA-4005:
Coaching and Mentoring

Module Facts

Run by School of Medical and Health Sciences

10.000 Credits or 5.000 ECTS Credits

Semester 1

Organiser: Dr Nathan Bray

Overall aims and purpose

This module provides you with an opportunity to form and develop professional relationships as a coach or mentor. You will learn about communication skills and coaching/mentoring models, and begin to integrate these skills into your practice as a coach/mentor. Your workshops and lectures will present theories and practical examples of this work, and you will then be expected to apply this knowledge in practice by working as a coach or mentor in your workplace for at least 10 hours. This important activity gives you a valuable opportunity to practice your coaching/mentoring skills and gain a deeper insight into the process from an applied perspective.

Course content

Workshops will introduce you to the main concepts in coaching and mentoring, and provide you with an opportunity to explore the topic by considering how you can support the development of others as a coach or mentor.

A lecture series will also provide insights from the helping professions. These insights will include consideration of both coaching and mentoring(e.g. models, skills, practical applications, etc). Each lecture will be accompanied by a reading list accessible through the University library.

Assessments will enable you to critically apply your understanding in an essay and a reflective journal mapping your experiences as a coach or mentor.
