How do we help prepare students for professional practice? Problem based learning is an approach which was introduced to the MSc Educational Psychology programme in 2002 due to the anticipated benefits in  students’ learning. Problem based learning involves the use of complex, messy problem triggers to reflect real life. Students take responsibility for their learning; engage in independent and collaborative learning; and apply  their new learning to the problem scenario. This approach to teaching  
and learning has been valued by students and future employers in helping prepare students for the complexity of professional practice.
