PSA (Activity) Pathway
If you are an active participant in activities on and off campus such as being in a society, part of a sports team, a student rep or maybe undertaking work experience then you can achieve The PSA (Activity) Pathway. It offers you the opportunity to complete the Personal Skills Award through your involvement in these types of extra-curricular activities and many more!
Why choose the Activity pathway?
The activity pathway offers you:
- The chance to develop, reflect and articulate the skills gained from involvement in extra-curricular activities
- Evidence to employers that you have made the most of your time at University and developed your employability skills
- Learning in a practical environment
- Allows you to collect points and endorse your employability for a large amount of activities you may already be involved in
