 What are "graduate attributes"?

Graduate attributes are a set of skills and personal qualities that employers want students to have by the time they graduate.

Every course that you study at UQ will help you to develop these attributes, but different courses will approach graduate attributes in different ways. Some courses will concentrate on in-depth knowledge, while others will place more emphasis on problem-solving or critical thinking.

The course profile for each course will contain a brief explanation of how the graduate attributes are integrated into that particular course.
