Introducing Cardiff University’s Graduate Attributes<\/h1>\n

What are the Graduate Attributes?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Graduate Attributes are a set of transferable skills and capabilities that Cardiff University is developed in partnership with students academics and employers.<\/p>\n

The attributes are intended to be a golden thread running through every student’s time at Cardiff and can be developed through your studies or via extra-curricular opportunities in your school and across the wider University.<\/p>\n

By developing the attributes you will maximise your chances of securing graduate level employment as social economic and environmentally aware global citizens.<\/p>\n

There are 6 overarching Graduate Attributes each with a range of sub attributes that demonstrate the core characteristics that a Cardiff University graduate with this attribute would display.<\/p>\n

Each Graduate Attribute has a distinct colour and icon that provides a visual representation of what the attribute involves, as shown below:<\/p>\n
