All courses at Westminster, both undergraduate and postgraduate, are expected to embed employability in the core curriculum. Course teams are required to engage directly with employers at an early stage in the curriculum development process to get input on how courses can support students to become employable graduates. These pages provide advice on meeting the expectations for employability in the curriculum.
For presentation purposes the guidance has been grouped under four categories:
⊛ Preliminary considerations: The strategies that inform our approach to embedding employability, and the essential requirements for work based and placement learning that must be integrated into all undergraduate degree courses. There is also a reference to the data sources that may provide some helpful context.
⊛ Who should be involved? Details of all the key parties that should contribute to our approach to embedding employability, both within the University and externally.
⊛ Employer engagement event: Advice on holding a key event in the early stages of course development to get direct input from employers and other stakeholders.
⊛ Factors to be considered in course development: guidance on the various ways of actually ensuring that employability is embedded in the curriculum.
The four categories are shown visually in the diagram below. Follow the links for more detailed information on each category
