Employability

Excellence in Education for us at the University of Bath means that 'our graduates have high levels of personal, professional, and academic skills enabling them to fulfil their potential and thrive in their chosen employment' (Education Strategy 2016-2021).

This page provides information and guidance related to embedding employability and graduate attributes within the curriculum and our learning community. We ensure that there are opportunities for students to develop knowledge, skills, attributes, experiences, behaviour and achievements to enable them to make successful transitions and contributions to benefit themselves, the economy and their communities.

Encourage students to reflect on and take responsibility for their own personal and professional development
