For Students

The University of Aberdeen has created a Level 2 Award in Leadership and Team Skills, accredited by the ILM. This course is a professional development opportunity designed for registered undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Aberdeen and AFG College with the University of Aberdeen.  The Award’s content has been created to align with our students’ experiences and supports their motivation in having a range of evidence beyond their University degree programme to affirm their experiences to future employers. There are two units in the award, each takes around 10 hours to complete of self study on MyAberdeen.

As an undergraduate student (level 2 and above) or a postgraduate student at AFG College with the University of Aberdeen, you can register as a mentee in this programme and benefit from regular sessions with an experienced professional to gain one-to-one employability advice, support and guidance in a specific profession and/or sector. 

Applications are now closed.
