AA Pathways
To help students who don't know where to start working through Attributes and Aspirations we have developed a set of pathways for different scenarios. These pathways provide AA users with a maximum of 10 units from the whole AA catalogue which develop key skills for different scenarios.
These pilot pathways cover the following scenarios.
As a pilot these pathways are designed for AA for Undergraduate but we will be developping more. if you have ideas for other pathways for undergradate or for our postrgaduate and PhD courses please contact us on aasc@imperial.ac.uk
