Poster
Graduate Attributes are embedded into all core modules and offer a way for students to engage with their learning from a skills perspective. They are also embedded in extra-curricular activities, which engages students in recognising their skills development through these activities.
The poster will outline the development of and rationale for the City St. George’s Graduate Attributes. It will detail the Attributes themselves, how they were developed, and their intended impact on the skills development of students. It will give examples of how the Attributes have been embedded in the curriculum across all core modules, and also how they have been embedded across co-curricular activities. It will highlight the online Skills Hub which support students to find opportunities to develop the Attributes and also to reflect on their learning, including through earning the City St. George’s Employability Award.
This is relevant to all students as Graduate Atributes are identified in core modules across all taught programmes; all students need to be able to recongnise and articulate their skills developed through their studies and extra-curricular activity in order to secure their next step (employment or further study).
