Graduate Attributes

Bond University's Academic Senate and the Senior Management Group have endorsed a list of Graduate Attributes which underpin curriculum development and assessment at Bond University.  These attributes are:

Knowledge and Critical Thinking
Graduates have acquired a sound knowledge of their discipline and the ability to critically evaluate, manage, reflect on, integrate, and apply it.

Leadership, Initiative and Teamwork
Graduates have the skills to contribute to their discipline or profession as an effective leader and as a member of collaborative, cooperative and successful teams.

Communication Skills
Graduates have the skills to communicate effectively with their profession, their peers and the wider community.

Responsibility
Graduates are aware of the standards, ethics and values of their discipline, in both the local and global context.

Graduate attributes are not skills or qualities that are acquired outside of the normal University curriculum or through the core subjects alone. Rather, they should be embedded within a program of study.

It is not expected that every subject within a program of study will focus on all four attributes. Rather, students are expected to acquire these attributes over an entire undergraduate degree program.
