Abstract
Taught postgraduate students are a unique group, undergoing a short, intensive period of study, often within a new learning culture. To support Master’s students to integrate into their new learning environment this project piloted the use of a self-assessment skills audit with students studying population health programmes. The audit enabled students to reflect on their current skills profile at the start of their programme, and to also prepare a tailored action plan to address their personal development needs. This paper explores the benefits of this approach and makes recommendations on future enhancements to this model.
