<li>Students are supported in the PDP process through materials in the Student Handbook. PDP runs throughout the first year of the programme via the Personal Academic Tutor system and the embedded ‘Becoming an Historian’ skills workshops. The PDP process is delivered through both formal (taught) and informal means. It is implemented by all staff through the Personal Academic Tutor system. PATs are available to discuss PDP at regular intervals during the degree. The provision of PDP at undergraduate level provides students with ‘appropriate opportunities for personal and professional development’ and to provide for the identification, regular review and recording of each student’s development needs. Responsibility for adhering to the PDP scheme lies with the student.</li>
