other social activities. This programme conforms to MMU’s Faculty of Art and Design’s PDP Framework, whereby PDP is viewed as a process that is embedded within the curriculum. It is an ongoing process of students reflecting on their development as learners and on their aspirations for their future learning and professional practice. PDP/Individual Development Tutorial. All students on all courses are required to participate in PDP. There are two PDP tutorials for each student within the course given by the Key Tutor. Students prepare themselves for this tutorial through a reflective survey of their learning journal that is supported and guided by a set of questions from their Key Tutor. Initially they will be asked to reflect on their existing skills and determine where their strengths lie. Then they will be assisted in determining their development needs and setting some development goals. Success in achieving these goals will be determined in a variety of ways: through their studies; extracurricular activities etc. and, with the support of the Key Tutor, the student will be able to recognise and record these successes, setting further goals as required. At the end of the course all students are given the opportunity to meet with the campus placement officer and discuss their future employment goals. 27 Placement and Work-based Learning The structure and delivery of the programme does not allow for the formal provision of placement learning to be included, however each campus has its own dedicated Careers Services Manager that heads the careers support team. The purpose of the support officer is to bridge the gap between the fashion industry located in the city/ country of campus and once the student has graduated. It is the role of the Career services Manager to build and expand on industry relationships in their city. All students are supported by lectures, PowerPoint presentations and notes, on internship and employment, the nature of the fashion industry, preparation of CVs, cover letter writing, developing and preparing a portfolio inline with a job interview and how to adopt interview skills. 28 Course Specific Admission Requirements ADMISSION REGULATIONS The programme admissions regulations and entry requirements comply with Manchester Metropolitan University’s Recruitment and Admission Policy, Regulations and Institutional Code of Practice and the Scheme for the Admission of Students with Advanced Standing following Accreditation of Prior Learning.
