Developing Your Graduate Attributes


Graduate Attributes

Queen Mary wants you to make the most of your student experience. For that reason, we want to help you identify the opportunities that exist to develop your graduate attributes. These attributes reflect the location, profile of the student body and research-intensive nature of the University and are detailed in the Queen Mary Statement of Graduate Attributes. Our Statement of Graduate Attributes identifies 32 attributes grouped into 7 themes that will help you prepare yourself for your future employment.

Here are the main ways that you can ensure that you develop the knowledge, skills values and behaviors that employers’ value before you graduate.

Engage fully in your degree programme learning

Make sure that you identify where in your degree programme the opportunities for developing graduate attributes occur and engage fully in these learning activities.

Engage in work experience and other forms of extra-curricular activity

Make sure you take up some of the wide range of opportunities open to you, such as work experience, volunteering, and enterprise education and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Enhance your ability to reflect on your learning and monitor your progress for employability

Sign up to an award or certificate designed to ensure you gain the most from your student experience.

Be active in career decision making and preparation for employment – from your arrival at Queen Mary
