Graduate Skills and Work Related Learning
In the Faculty of Science we believe that skills are an important part of your studies at LJMU. You can expect on your degree programme to receive feedback on Graduate Skills (for more information on what these skills are please click here).
These Graduate Skills are useful as a student, in getting the most out of your time here. They are also the skills employers will expect you to have, and will be listed in job specifications.
Registering for Graduate Skills will mean that you will gain recognition through your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) at the end of your degree. Part of your HEAR will list which skill areas you have developed during your time here. Taking part also gives you the opportunity to discuss and reflect on your feedback. This will be valuable for you as it will:
• Enable you to identify any areas where you might need support and development
• Empower you to recognise your strengths and abilities in the different skill areas and practise articulating these as you will with prospective employers in the future
• Evidence your skills through the written log you receive when you take part, which can be helpful in writing your CV and job applications, and can be useful in preparing for interviews
In addition to looking at your Graduate Skills, we can also discuss your Work Related Learning activities. This is an opportunity to reflect on the subject specific skills you are developing and also look at the impact they have on your career aspirations.
