The University has selected a wide-ranging set of nineteen attributes, which you will have opportunities to develop and enhance during your time studying here, with a view to being prepared for further study, future employment and citizenship.
Opportunities to develop and achieve these skills and qualities will occur in learning experiences in the curriculum, in credit-bearing courses, and also in co-curricular activities such as work placements, study abroad and volunteering. You will find a wealth of academic and professional skills development resources in the Achieve site (undergraduates) and Achieve+ site (taught postgraduates) in MyAberdeen.
The Aberdeen Graduate Attributes are grouped in four broad areas:
Developed by the Careers Service and the Student Learning Service, the Achieve resources are there to enable you to self-assess, reflect and improve upon your academic and professional skills. Achieve also links directly to the Learners’ Toolkit, developed by IT Services, and the Library’s guides and resources. When you have access to MyAberdeen, you will find Achieve in the 'My Organisations' section.
In accordance with the University's commitment to Equality and Diversity, you can request support with any aspect of the Graduate Attributes framework through your Personal Tutor or by contacting graduate-attributes@abdn.ac.uk.
