A Personal Development Plan (PDP) is embedded into each year of study and will enhance your academic, personal and professional growth.

Your PDP ensures you will receive continuous support tailored to your individual needs to enhance both your academic performance and career readiness. Before moving on to the final year, you may choose to spend a year on a placement in a business relevant to your ambitions.
