An introduction to Future Me Plan
Future Me is your personalised student development journey. Designed for everyone but tailored by you, it helps you build the skills, confidence and experience you need to succeed within and beyond university.
It’s your opportunity to customise your student experience and explore the person you hope to become.
Future Me Plan
Future Me Plan is a personal development plan that is unique to you. It forms the cornerstone of your progress, and helps you realise your potential by enabling you to embrace new challenges and growing your experience and skills.
By repeating a four-stage cycle, you’ll:
- map out your goals
- experience new opportunities
- reflect on your progress
- share your journey with others

Future Me Week takes place each year at the beginning of semester two. Previous guests have included Team GB’s Dame Sarah Storey as a Visiting professor, Radio 1 drive-time host, podcaster and entrepreneur Jamie Laing, The HUT Group, Footasylum, Enterprise Mobility, and Civil Service Fast Stream.

Rise
Rise
Rise is your portal to a huge range of short courses, projects and collaborations that sit perfectly alongside your core studies. It’s a way to boost your employability and potentially earn extra credits towards your degree.
You could be on a nursing degree and want to try learning Mandarin Chinese. Or you may be an architecture student with a passion for sports and social media. Whatever it is, Rise encourages you to step out of your discipline and try something new.
You can obtain points for taking part in Rise activities, and work towards badges that can be shared on your LinkedIn to show your skills to potential employers.
And you don’t have to be a student yet to get started, either.
