What do I have to do?
In addition to undertaking your activities, the Award is assessed by a portfolio, where you can describe, outline relevant skills and reflect upon your experiences. Validation of your involvement in your activities or evidence of participation should be included in your portfolio. To gain the Award, candidates will be expected to:
- Attend a compulsory introduction session
- Undertake a least ONE activity out of FOUR sections of the SIX sections available
- Understand that work experience OR volunteering are compulsory sections within the award
- Complete a PLAN outlining what they intend to do
- Submit 'MY ASSESSMENT PROFILE' (portfolio) after completion of their activities
- Submit appropriate SUPPORTING EVIDENCE or VALIDATION of activities undertaken
- Submit your completed portfolio in your FINAL year.
This criteria varies for PGT students to accommodate their shorter period of study. Further information is provided during the induction sessions.
The portfolio submission date for final year undergraduate candidates will be 1pm, Wednesday 13th March 2013.
For postgraduate candidates, the submission deadline date will be 1pm, Wednesday 28th August 2013.
The Award is assessed on a 'pass' or 'fail' basis. Any candidate who makes a submission to The Sheffield Graduate Award can be called for a panel interview to support their portfolios.
