Abstract

An introduction to current thinking: what are graduate attributes, qualities and capabilities (and does it matter what we call them)? How might they be translated into learning outcomes and woven into the formal and informal curricula? And most importantly, how might they be assessed (by staff, industry partners and students), and how might we gauge graduate achievement?
