| Course description |
Regardless of the professional domain in which students may ultimately operate, certain key, transferable skills are critical for effective performance. Students will be taught how to search for information efficiently and will examine approaches to communicate information convincingly in a variety of professional settings (written, meetings and formal presentations). Students will also be required to reflect on their own intended professional destination and analyse the skills and competencies required to operate successfully against which they will be required to plan their own continuing professional development. |
