Third National GAP Symposia

As part of the dissemination phase of the National GAP, the project team organised a series of state-based symposia in July - August 2009. At the Third National GAP symposia:

  • Examples of practice from each participating university were showcased through invited presentations and posters. See Posters

  • Participants connected with a similar network of colleagues currently working on the Scottish Quality Enhancement Theme (http://www.enhancementthemes.ac.uk/default.asp) 'Graduates for the 21st Century', a unique opportunity for international exchange and comparison of practices around graduate attributes. A video presentation was made by Claire Carney of QAA Scotland.

  • Student organisations contributed to the debate on Graduate Attributes, allowing participants insight into their perspective and experience. A student from University of Sunshine Coast, and another from NUS Scotland also provided video presentations.

  • The future role of graduate attributes in institutional Quality Assurance strategies was explored through discussion and a presentation from AUQA. See Videos
