The Surrey Lifewide Learning Award has been developed at the University of Surrey to value and recognize the informal learning you gain through the experiences you have in addition to your academic programme.
The Award Framework comprises an overarching award and a family of certificates formed around different areas for personal development. The award and certificates are underpinned by a lifewide learning capability and values statement
To gain the Lifewide Learning Award you must create a portfolio which describes the learning and personal development gained from at least 150h of extra-curricular experiences such as part-time work, voluntary work, being involved in a USSU society or a course representative and many more things.
Certificates provide a distinctive pathway to the Lifewide Learning Award but there is no obligation to include a Certificate in your portfolio. They require a minimum of 100h of experience-based and reflective learning and they can be taken as freestanding certificates or be incorporated into your portfolio for the Award.
