15. Personal Development Planning (PDP)


PDP is delivered and monitored through skills modules and the personal tutor system. Students are provided with a PDP handbook in electronic format and are introduced to the idea by their personal tutor (PT). Their PT will then guide them throughout their time at university, both in constructing their PDP and in making sure that they are developing the right skills, helping them to identify and address any issues.

Each student sees their PT six times a year (seven in year 1) for a small group tutorial where the PT and other students will discuss a particular skill or employability issue. Typically the student will have prepared a document or done a task in preparation for the meeting. Topics targeted at meetings include time management and vocabulary developing at Level 4, ranging up to psychometric testing and help with job applications at Level 6. These tutorials help students to identify and develop their skills and also encourage a culture of confidence between tutee and PT, so that if any specific problems arise with a student the PT will be in a position to assist.

The PT topics are constantly reviewed and updated in response to current practice in the workplace and to feedback from PTs and tutees. PTs insist on seeing a completed PDP before writing references.
