IMBRSea Professional Practice Portfolio

Students will engage in a six week period of professional practice in an organisation of relevance to the MSc programme. During Professional Practice students will work under the guidance of a mentor in this host organisation and an academic supervisor from the partner universities.

Learners will be encouraged to arrange professional practice with a non academic organisation that will provide them with an experience of relevance to their future careers.

The professional practice should develop the learner's professional competence, increase their self awareness and help inform decisions concerning their career path.

Learners select and apply for a range of professional practice options advertised on the MATIX intranet for IMBRSea.

1. Demonstrate through interpersonal communications how their experience has improved their professional competence

2. Critically evaluate and articulate how they have contributed to their host organisation's objectives.
    

3. Demonstrate the application of previously acquired theory and practical knowledge to their professional duties in the host organisation.

4. Articulate how their professional practice experience has modified their career aspirations.

5. Assess the effect of their professional practice on their future employment prospects.
