ABOUT THE COURSE
Whether you have a degree in graphic design, or a background in business, Solent’s unique blended learning PGC Professional Development Planning will help you better plan your career development. You’ll enhance your professional development skills to help boost employability within your chosen industry. Or you could work towards changing your career direction.
Delivery of this unique, flexible course is predominantly online. Online learning is supported by attending two Saturdays at our East Park Terrace campus. You’ll have the opportunity for one-to-one feedback with your tutor online, as well as peer support through the sessions. You’ll also be encouraged and supported to seek relevant work placements and work experience.
The course will enable you to discover and reflect on aspects such as your work preferences, strengths and areas for development. You’ll also explore your resilience and conflict style, effectiveness and career interests.
The programme encourages self-reflection based on key theories, strategies and tools related to professional development planning. By the end of the course, you’ll have a clearer idea of your future career trajectory and the competencies and skillsets required by employers.
To aid study you’ll be introduced to a range of research, enquiry, and analytical tools and approaches to enhance your understanding of relevant industry areas. These will help you identify your place in the industry and articulate your potential contribution to the sector.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
