Support from your College

It is important to recognise that PDP can take a variety of forms. There is no 'one size fits all' approach.

Practices and procedures will vary in different Colleges, but in general the process of PDP will involve you in the following activities:

• identifying and reflecting on your strengths and weaknesses.
• setting personal, academic and career goals.
• discussing your development needs with others - personal tutors, course tutors, supervisors and support services staff.
• planning for your development - setting yourself action plans that help you to make the most of all the opportunities open to you.
• setting up and maintaining records of your personal development.
