This module will establish a series of learning habits (self-efficacy, collaborative practice and networking) which will form the basis for the rest of their degree and their lifelong learning.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning with the core concept of lifelong learning, they will apply this theoretical approach to their own experience across a variety of spheres including home and family, work and volunteering, community and culture, interests and pastimes, formal and informal qualifications as well as technical and\/or vocational skills. Students will be required to complete a series of tasks to help audit, plan and track their progress. They will be introduced to a range of resources to enhance their learning both now and in the future including volunteering and other opportunities to gain practical experience, MOOCs and other \u201cfree\u201d online providers such as the Learning and Work Institute or FutureLearn. They will be expected to set achievable goals for the rest of the academic year. Typically, these will revolve around meeting attendance commitments, submission deadlines, and pursuing additional qualifications or training opportunities, although they can take different forms depending on individual needs.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-1\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tUnlock Your Potential: Personal Development Planning\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">80 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>During this module, students will lay the groundwork for their future personal and professional development. The module will provide opportunities to explore career pathways and professional sectors, set goals, and consider their well-being. Throughout the development of the personal development plan, students will have opportunities to develop crucial digital and information literacy skills. Students use a range of open-source digital tools to develop their personal development plan which typically includes podcasts, videos, written and visual material.<\/p>\n<p>The personal development plan begins with a consideration of personal values and their vision of the future. Students will develop a career investigation report which asks them to explore routes into one or more careers or think about the possibilities of a portfolio career. Students will consider one professional sector in-depth, exploring the real-world, contemporaneous challenges and opportunities shaping that sector. Students will consider the meaning of success in the many spheres of their lives, home and family, work and volunteering, community and culture, interests and pastimes, formal and informal qualifications as well as technical and\/or vocational skills. Students will have opportunities to reflect on their own well-being, considering ways to develop their self-efficacy through self-management techniques and digital tools.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-newman-tab gap\" id=\"panel-year-2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-year-2\" data-tab-panel=\"true\" data-tab-id=\"year-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tab-block-content content\"><details name=\"module-year-2\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" open>\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFind Your Direction: Professional Development Planning\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">40 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module aims to equip students with the necessary skills to succeed in their future careers.

Scheduled workshops will include guest speakers, typically from a wide range of sectors, as well as academics, Applied Humanities alumni and current students. Guest speakers have previously included professionals from diverse sectors such as the civil service, counselling, education, heritage, HR, marketing, NHS, police, politicians (both local and national) and community organisers. Academic speakers include specialists and active researchers from the humanities and beyond. These speakers provide invaluable insights into different professional and academic landscapes including the key issues, trends, and challenges facing these sectors. Students are encouraged to engage in meaningful discussion, offer constructive feedback, build connections and develop, enhance and use their own networks.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the scheduled guest speakers, students also undertake experiential sessions where they can further explore the themes of the presentations, focus on relevant skills, develop ideas and offer peer feedback. This may relate directly to the specialist knowledge they have acquired as part of the module but could also be drawn from their wider interests. To support this process, students will also be assessed according to their engagement which could include attendance, participation, completed forms and surveys, meetings and reviews.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-newman-tab gap\" id=\"panel-year-3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-year-3\" data-tab-panel=\"true\" data-tab-id=\"year-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tab-block-content content\"><details name=\"module-year-3\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" open>\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tApply the Humanities: innovation for the Real World\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">40 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>By the end of the module, students will have demonstrated their ability to apply humanities-based approaches to real-world scenarios.
