Graduate Attributes

Graduate attributes are the essential qualities, skills, and academic abilities that the University of Bolton community values and expects students to develop during their studies. These attributes are not solely learned in lectures but are cultivated through practical experiences and continuous reflection. They are unique to each student, reflecting their individual starting points, experiences, development, and understanding. The Graduate Attributes Matrix for Employability (GAME) provides a structured framework for academic staff to assess and enhance these core skills, ensuring they are relevant to the workplace and integrated into the curriculum. These attributes support students' personal development and clearly articulate their employability and transferable skills.
