You will be expected to reference the skills you have learnt throughout the PDP and the particular stream you have followed when completing the Skills Portfolio.

 

Completing the Skills Portfolio

The skills portfolio is the capstone of the Professional Development Programme and as such is designed to enable you to demonstrate the personal skills, accomplishments, experience and attributes that you have acquired and developed as part of your MSc course.  A key component of the Skills Portfolio is the reflective exercise you must complete to assess the competency stream you have followed in the third part of the Professional Development Programme.

 

The skills portfolio should be evidence based and should include examples of the competencies you have developed and how you have applied these to your studies.  In addition you will need to demonstrate how you can articulate these transferrable skills to potential employers, and how both your course and the PDP have contributed towards your career goals.

The skills portfolio should be an honest, in-depth reflection on your strengths and weaknesses and   a detailed analysis of the skills and competencies you have acquired as well as of those which you still need to improve in order to maximise your personal potential.  You will need to demonstrate how you have engaged with the principles of the Professional Development Programme through reference to the development of, or the need for further development of, the following competencies:

Team working

Presentation Skills

Communication Skills

Leadership Skills

Influencing Skills

Negotiation Skills

Problem Solving

Intercultural Competencies

Self-management
