Through extensive research and consultation, the Skills for Success Framework updates the language and style of the University’s Graduate Attributes. It reflects and supports the ambition of the Edinburgh Student Vision and the Learning & Teaching Strategy: to develop graduates who are disciplinary experts with advanced specialist skills, knowledge and experience; ready to thrive in a changing world and highly employable.
The new framework has been carefully developed to ensure that the fundamental principles of the Graduate Attributes have been maintained as these have stood the test of time and are used extensively across the university. The table below sets out how each Graduate Attribute maps to the Skills for Success Framework to allow staff who are using the Graduate Attributes to transition to the new Skills for Success Framework.
Support and guidance are available, if required, from the Senior Design Lead (Skills for Success), Lorna Devlin (lorna.devlin@ed.ac.uk), to help staff with this transition.
