Personal Learning in the Built Environment

A Personal Learning Plan (PLP) for all undergraduate students studying in the Construction Management and Surveying Programme (CMS) School of the Built Environment Heriot Watt University has been produced and implemented for the last two years. This is in preparation for the requirement of all higher education providers to offer a Personal Development Plan for all students by 2005/2006. The PLP requires students to self assess their skills and plan ways of developing and improving them by undertaking either academic work paid employment (related or not related to their degree) and social activities/interests.
