Assessment Description
AS biomedical student, Throughout your time at University you will have been developing and refining subject-specific and general employability skills. Your personal development at University will have come from your degree but also from volunteer work, paid employment and from the more social side of life at OBU (e.g participation in ARU sports and social societies).
A personal development plan (PDP) allows you to record your learning and will help you to identify and develop the key skills in your final year of study that employers are looking for and can ultimately be used by you as a resource when applying for jobs and/or further study at the end of your degree.
To satisfy this component you will be required to submit a CV and a personal statement/cover letter containing essential information for a job application. You will be provided with a variety of job adverts to which you complete an application for one.
Choose one of the following job adverts, complete a CV and cover letter/personal statement to reflect your skills and interest in the role. You may also include a CV and cover letter for an alternative (not listed below) role or degree; in order to do that, you must also include the job description and personal specification within your submission.
