Personal Development Plan

A full but optional PDP (Personal Development Portfolio) design is accessible to all Sub-Honours scholars, and Advisers can give more comprehensive information. Students have online get access to the components to construct their own know-how into their portfolio. This is functioned through our VLE (Moodle), and can be accessed by the iSaint portal. A changed Honours PDP design is furthermore accessible to all, but afresh not compulsory. (However a exact tailored PDP design is compulsory for all scholars in the School of Medicine as a entails of instilling expert mind-set, a obligation from the GMC.)

Maintaining a PDP as a 'log book' permits scholars to record and contemplate upon their development of abilities, and can considerably enhance the scholar discovering experience.

From 2010, two significant expansions have arrived into play that will furthermore advantage from use of a PDP by students:

1.  Production of HEAR transcripts - the Higher Education Achievement Record is a new Government-backed design that presents far more comprehensive notes of accomplishment to all graduating students. We have been handing out this new transcript from this year, and it can encompass numerous types of non-academic accomplishment, in order that it is worth scholars utilising a PDP to record all their undertakings (sporting, heritage, charity-based, work know-how, etc.).

2.  Introduction of the St Andrews Award scheme. This is conceived to boost and motivate all scholars to make the most of their time at St Andrews. Students who become engaged will enlist in undertakings through their second and third years and accumulate a portfolio of clues for the distinct parts of the accolade scheme: 'Contributing to university life; Giving to others; expanding your horizons; and Working for your future'.

For these causes, we wish that there might be larger usage of PDP from 2010-2011. More data can be discovered on the website, or by communicating Bonnie Hacking at the Careers Centre.
