| Statement of Graduate Attributes | ||||
|
The University of Sydney has revised its Generic Graduate Attributes policy based on research within the university and benchmarking similar initiatives at international universities, such as Oxford. This research provides a conceptual basis for the University’s statement of graduate attributes. You can read about the four levels of the framework or read more detail in the publications below.
The revised policy specifies two levels of attributes. There are three overarching graduate attributes – Scholarship, Lifelong Learning, and Global Citizenship – which reflect the research intensive nature of the University, its scholarly values in relation to research-led teaching, and the place of its graduates in a global society. These overarching attributes represent combinations of five clusters of more specific attributes, which can be interpreted or contextualised differently in different disciplinary domains. These are in turn supported by generic foundation skills and abilities underpinned by basic competencies. The University policy has been interpreted by each Faculty in a Faculty Statement. These statements have been developed in consultation with internal and external stakeholders. |
