Employability and Study Skills

Students entering Higher Education will need specific study skills to enable them to maximise their learning potential and take advantage of opportunities available both in the academic setting and the workplace. Students will enter with different levels of skills and experience and may approach the module in a variety of ways. It is intended that a ‘skills audit’ is given at the start of the module and the results from this will form the basis of an individual learning plan prepared for each student. The outcome from this module is that the student will be equipped with the range of personal skills relevant to work listed below:
oral communication skills
written communication skills
team work and inter-personal skills
Internet-based research skills
