At Durham we want our students to leave with more than a degree; we want them to graduate ready to make a difference in the world. We are committed to supporting our students to develop the knowledge, skills, and values needed to succeed in an ever-evolving global society.
We developed our Graduate Attributes in consultation with students, alumni and staff. They are woven into university life, including our wider student experience, academic programmes, college activities and Careers and Employability Centre.
Each attribute is underpinned by an array of specialist and transferable skills. When you join us, you are encouraged to track your growth of these Attributes by using a range of self-reflection techniques.
Our Graduate Attributes serve as a cornerstone to the Durham student experience, embedded across both academic and co-curricular activities. Through this holistic approach, we provide our students opportunities to develop the confidence and competencies needed to thrive long after they leave university.
Throughout their degree programmes, students have access to a diverse range of development opportunities that encourage them to reflect on their experiences, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and allow them to develop the skills required to make a lasting impact in their future careers
