PSA (Modular) Pathway

The PSA (Modular) pathway offers a range of modules that have been created for you to develop new skills; enhance your employability; and tailor to your career ambitions.

Why choose the modular pathway?

The modular pathway offers you:

  • Accreditation:  the modules you take will appear on your official academic transcript
  • Evidence to employers that you have taken significant steps to enhance your employability
  • A structured learning environment. You will attend a series of workshops designed to enable you to develop key transferable skills that will enhance your employability.

How does the modular pathway work?

To complete the PSA through the modular pathway, you must complete three PSA modules: the core module: 'Employability and Professional Development Skills' and two optional modules according to your development needs and future ambitions. The PSA (Modular) must be taken across a minimum of two academic years.

When do the modules take place?

Modules run throughout both the Autumn and Spring terms.
