Personal Development

Economics Personal Development Module (Year 1)

Develop Your Skills and Boost Your Employability

As part of your first year, you’ll take part in the Economics Personal Development Module—a compulsory, non-credit bearing module designed to support your transition into university life and enhance your personal and academic growth.

This module offers a diverse range of activities, both within the Department and across the wider university, designed to help you grow personally and professionally. You'll be tasked with completing a number of compulsory activities throughout your first year of your degree. These activities have a strong focus on:

  • Academic skills development
  • Employability and career planning
  • Broadening your understanding of Economics beyond the classroom

These opportunities will support you in building key skills that are highly valued by employers and all aimed at helping you stand out in a competitive job market.

You’ll be introduced to the module in your Student Experience Lecture during Welcome Week, where you’ll receive full details about the activities and how to get involved. Participation is essential, as the module is designed to help you make the most of your university experience from day one.
