Career Development Module
Career Development Module
Graduate with the skills employers are looking for. Use your work experience, volunteering or part-time job to count towards your degree.
The Career Development Module is a 20 credit module completed over the course of the academic year. It's available to stage two and final year students on selected degree programmes. Check with your academic school to see if you are eligible to take part.
What's involved
You'll attend timetabled sessions (with a combination of online and in person learning planned for 2022-23), and will complete work through Canvas throughout the year. These will support you in setting goals to work towards during your placement and to develop your knowledge and skills.
You'll spend a minimum of 50 hours at your placement, with a minimum of 30 of these completed in semester 2 to fit in with module teaching and assessments. Placement visits should be managed to fit around your academic and other commitments, and must be carried out over a period of no less than eight weeks.
What you can do
There are currently three placement routes available. You can:
- support learners in primary, secondary and special educational needs schools with student tutoring
- volunteer through the Students' Union in the local community or on campus
- develop knowledge and skills using your existing part-time work
The modules available are:
- NCL2007 - for Stage 2 students
- NCL3007 - for Stage 3/Final Year students
