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 and complete work through Canvas throughout the year. These support you in setting goals to work towards during your placement and develop your knowledge and skills.
You'll spend a minimum of 35 hours at your placement. Placement visits should be managed to fit around your academic and other commitments, and to give you time to plan and prepare for each module assessment.
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
