PDP offers a structured way to reflect on what the student is good at and what needs to develop further. It encourages students to rate their current skill levels attained at the institute and learned from different situations and environments including external studies, part time work, voluntary work and 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 three courses are required to participate in PDP. 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 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Programme Specification 10 of 18 April 2011
MMU Programme Specification – Fashion Design 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 recognize and record these successes, setting further goals as required. There are two PDP tutorials for each student per academic year given by the Key Tutor during the three years of these courses. In the case of the Sandwich courses the placement tutor will give added support in the career development discussions during this year. 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 All students enrolled on the sandwich programme will undertake the Placement unit between Levels 5 and 6. This is normally for a minimum period of 36 weeks. The placement experience is designed to help prepare students for employment and they will be capable of following careers in a wide variety of sectors of the industry. Each campus has it’s 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 the student/graduate. The Career services Manager builds and expands on industry relationships in their city, creating a variety of learning opportunities for the students, such as live briefs, competitions, visits and industry lectures. Students on the three-year full-time programme look for placement opportunities after graduation. All students are supported by lectures, PowerPoint presentations and notes, on internship, 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 adopted interview skills. As “placement” includes any activity which a student engages with off-site, it should be also notes that during the course of the programme students will be given the opportunity to join study trips and submit work towards industry sponsored competitions. Study trips may take many forms, such as: short excursions to museums, galleries or retail environments; structured visits to view industrial sites, marketing/buying offices, showrooms, fashion and textiles/yarn trend exhibitions and fairs. 28 Course Specific Admission Requirements Admission to the programme is in accordance with Manchester Metropolitan University entry requirements.
