It aims to develop your awareness of the range of career and postgraduate opportunities available. You will be able to make realistic, well informed decisions in relation to your future career intentions, and will enhance your ability to cope with the transition from undergraduate study to the next stage in your career.

Topics will include the jobs market and employment opportunities, interview techniques, responding to job advertisements, CV preparation, personal promotion, the professional presentation of your work and the development of professional contacts.

Employability, Enterprise and Entrepreneurship are the key elements of this module, and the work produced builds on previously completed PDP in levels 4 and 5.
