PS117-4-FY : Introduction to Personal Development and Employability

The module is co-ordinated by Reinhard Pekrun, to whom queries should be addressed.

This module will be one of three "Careers and Employability" modules that will run across years 1, 2, and 3. A full outline of the module will be distributed during the first lecture. The aim of these modules is to improve the employability of Psychology students. The modules will provide students with opportunities to reflect and decide upon their career aspirations, help them identify the steps required to reach those goals, and introduce them to opportunities and resources that will help them to complete these steps.

The Year 1 module will introduce employability and personal development planning, familiarise students with the resources available to assist their career development, and help them to review their own personal profile and produce a good CV, LinkedIn profile or video CV.

In our undergraduate programme, we run a suite of separate Year 1 (PS117), Year 2 (PS417), and Final Year (PS492) Psychology employability modules that are co-designed and co-delivered by psychology academics and colleagues in the Careers Services team. These modules are mandatory for undergraduate students, and the progressive syllabus starts by providing students with the opportunities to reflect upon their strengths and weaknesses so that they can decide upon their personal goals and career aspirations. They then help to identify the steps required and introduce opportunities and resources to achieve these goals. 

These materials and resources associated with these modules are available for all psychology undergraduate and postgraduate students .
