All HE students take this module, which is the third in the Professional Scholarship Programme (PSP).
This module supports the development of students’ written, communication, IT, numeracy and research skills.
Whilst the module provides a basis for the rest of the PSP (Research Methods for Honours students in addition to a Placement Period and a Major Project for all students), it also supports learning in every other module.

It therefore helps to provide students with the essential tools that will enable them to maximise both their learning and career achievements.
The tutors tailor the learning resources and assessments to the specific and subject and vocational areas relevant to the courses.
The module also links to the Academic Support Services, through appropriate scheduling of numeracy workshops, and is further supported by additional resources within the VLE.
