Coventry Institutional PDP implementation principles • Personal development planning should be a formative, student-centred process. • The process should be integrated into the whole of the student experience at Coventry University and include academic, personal, career and professional skills inputs. • The implementation should take into account, build upon and be complementary to existing expertise and practices. • The introduction of PDP should not place unnecessarily increased burdens of administration and bureaucracy on staff and students.
Implementation model • Core element of PDP delivered through employability modules • Ownership at Faculty level to develop subject specific and professional requirements – Faculties to decide how they well develop PDP in programmes
