In each of the degree courses I have done, there have been a few sessions on general scholarship, essay-writing, etc. These are not actual modules, parts thereof, or even evaluated, but just part of the furniture of the whole course.
What you describe sounds like the kind of content that belongs in such a session for degrees that are likely to lead on to working in software development.
This gives rise to a further thought. Rather than this even being part of a degree course, it should be something run by a university's Careers Service. A series of "So you wanna be a ..." sessions for common graduate careers, that train students on some of the day-to-day practicalities of what those jobs entail.
