PDP

structured and supported process undertaken
by students to reflect upon their own learning,
performance and/or achievement and to plan
for their personal, educational and career
development.
 provides students with at least one occasion in
each year of study on which they can engage
in discussions with their supervisor about PDP.
FIRST YEAR
 Autumn - discuss what it means to be a CS graduate, introduce PDP
 Spring - optional PDP session (start of term)
 Summer - optional PDP session (start of term), review progress and
plans, discuss drafting a cv.
SECOND YEAR
 Autumn - individual PDP session
 Spring - optional PDP session (start of term)
 Summer - optional PDP session (start of term)
FINAL YEAR
 Autumn - individual PDP session
 Spring - optional PDP session (start of term)
 Summer - optional PDP session (start of term)
These discussions will hopefully
encourage students to:
adopt an holistic view of the academic
experience
 reflect on both curricula and extra
curricula activities
 identify strengths and weaknesses
 discuss possible opportunities for
development.

It is anticipated that PDP will benefit
both staff and students by:

Giving students the chance to consider exactly
how their university education is contributing to
personal and career development
 Making references easier to write, having
followed a student's progress more closely
there will be more information to hand
 As students take greater responsibility for their
own learning, they should become easier to
teach.
