This course is designed to help students reflect upon an ongoing or recently completed work experience activity (e.g., a placement, an internship, a volunteering opportunity or part-time work), identify and evaluate the skills they had developed through this activity, and apply this to their ongoing personal and professional development. These experiences must be organised by the student themselves by the second week of term, with participation on the course limited to those whose engagement activities meet eligibility criteria.

The Professional Skills with Work Integrated Learning course has been designed to enhance students’ employability through a range of lectures covering reflective practices and effective communication and application of the developed employability skills. By taking this course, students will develop their abilities to present themselves and their capabilities based on their existing experiences and skills.
The course has been set up to run directly after a summer internship/placement, or alongside an internship/placement during winter term. Internships must be self-organised by the student or applied for as part of one of the School’s internship programmes during their third year to run over the summer. The eligibility of the self-organised activities will be assessed by the course coordinator as part of course registration and will require confirmation from the host organisation.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
