Personal Development Plan (PDP)
A roadmap to reflect, grow, and plan for your academic and career success.
What is PDP?
“A structured and supported process undertaken by a learner to reflect upon their own learning, performance, and achievement, and to plan for their personal, educational, and career development.” — QAA (2009), Personal Development Planning Guidance
At The Islamic College, we encourage students to engage in self-reflection, setting personal and academic goals, and continuously tracking their progress.
