Professional Development Module
Our Professional Development Module equips you for success with a broad skillset and practical experience. This innovative second-year module offers you the choice to explore personal and professional interests via work placements, experiential projects, language acquisition, or international study, developing valuable, future-focused skills.
Work Placements
Gain real-world work experience through a placement with an external organisation or employer. You’ll have the chance to apply and integrate areas of subject and/or professional knowledge, and skills in a real-world setting. Chester students undertake work placements across hundreds of supportive placement providers both locally, nationally, and overseas.
Experiential Project
During an experiential project, you will apply knowledge and skills you’ve learned to real-life situations, interacting with peers and stakeholders. Our projects are designed by working closely with external employers, to ensure that you are learning the skills they need, and you will be able to offer upon graduating.
Learn a Language
You have the opportunity to learn a new language or build on your existing language skills as part of your degree. By studying an additional language, you can pick up a valuable and sought-after skill that will open a range of opportunities for you all over the world.
Study Overseas
You also have the chance to participate in a work, study or volunteer project at a destination around the globe for a term, where you can experience a practical element to your learning. Some of the current destinations include South Africa, USA, France, Spain, Costa Rica and many more.
