The Scottish Internship Graduate Certificate aims to equip you with the knowledge, understanding and practical experience necessary to enhance your employability. It is aimed at graduates with all levels of work experience, whether you are looking to launch your career, seeking ways to further develop your career path or gain experience in a new area/sector.
The modules which comprise the programme are designed to help you to:
- Make sense of UK working cultures and practices and your role within the world of work.
- Be able to undertake career planning to manage your career and to participate successfully in graduate recruitment processes.
- Undertake a meaningful period of work experience in a relevant field and undertake an original piece of work (project) which is of benefit to both you and the placement provider
- Develop and use skills, knowledge and experience in a practical setting.
You do not need to be a recent graduate to apply. We actively encourage applications from those who are returning to work or looking for a career change.
Contents
The programme consists of three credit-bearing modules:
- Preparation and Planning (15 credits)
This module, commencing in October, is a one month intensive University-based course taken prior to the internship. This module aims to enhance your self-awareness and prepare you for your internship. Sessions include project management, team working and presentation skills. Knowledge of Scottish employers and recruitment will be further enhanced by a cultural and employer visit programme. Learning and teaching will be based around intensive, highly interactive face-to-face lectures, seminars and tutorials.
- Internship (30 credits)
Internship placements will commence in November. Students will be carefully matched to an internship opportunity which relates to their degree and/or compliments their career aspirations. Internships last year included those from the management, IT, engineering and marketing sectors. During their internship, students will undertake a project which is beneficial to their placement host and which also helps them to develop or make full use of their skills, knowledge and experience. Training allowances of a minimum of £200 per month for each month of the placement are attached to all internships, however, some employers may offer more than £200 a month. Throughout their internship, students will be given appropriate support from workplace supervisors and university tutors. This module will be delivered by a mix of distance learning and on-campus 'call-back' days.
- Analysis and Career Planning (15 credits) In May, students will undertake a Placement Reflection and Sector Analysis project, essentially a reflective account of their internship experience and related sector analysis. Areas covered include professional CV building, mock interviews and supported job searching.
Methods of Teaching and Assessment:
Throughout the course learning and teaching will be based around intensive, face-to-face highly interactive and participatory lectures, seminars and tutorials. Additionally, students will use PDP (Personal Development Planning) to foster career management and action planning skills.
