Description for 2024/25

Whilst a university degree is a highly valued indicator of achievement and ability for employers, soft skills show employers personal attributes and qualities to help us succeed. This module aims to help students to develop a set of personal and professional skills needed to succeed in higher education and the workplace. Students will be expected to work extensively on their own initiative and to actively participate in all sessions. The module will encourage students to self-assess their existing knowledge and key skills and it will show how these may be developed and applied in ongoing professional development.

The module aims to provide students with an academic and professional skill set and knowledge upon which they can build their personal branding, and progress in their studies
