Graduates for the 21st Century: what were we doing?
At the heart of this Theme was consolidation of, and reflection on, the work of the Enhancement Theme programme – all Themes and projects started since 2003. The goal of integrating their outcomes relied on updating and refreshing the material that was produced previously.

Graduates for the 21st Century: what were we doing?
Has it been a successful Theme?
Yes – evidence of engagement and interest across the sector.
Made use of the work of all previous themes.
“Graduate Attributes”, like “Research-Teaching Linkages”, is now a universal concept through the sector.

Institutional Teams – with an emerging discipline focus
Areas of shared interest – project facilitators
Sectoral – the development of events
Graduates for the 21st Century: how did we do it?
Within, across and all over ...
... and in a challenging environment

Graduates for the 21st Century: what have we done?
The impact of graduate attributes
o Many HEIs have implemented GAs within their strategies and operations – and there is evidence of this in practice as Dai Hounsell will show.
o Next step – evaluation & assessment – has it made a difference?

Graduates for the 21st Century: what have we done?
Using Graduate Attributes
o ELIR reports in the current cycle talk about them
o Programme design in many institutions feature them
o GAs are being incorporated into prospectuses

Graduates for the 21st Century: what have we done?
Communicating Graduate Attributes
o Post RTL students could not articulate GAs. This is now seen as a priority and there are excellent examples.
o Articulating the language of GAs for employers.
o Work around subject specific GAs in the disciplines.

Enhancement Themes must:

- ease pressure on time: “not another initiative”
- help us work with tighter budgets: it must be VfM

Graduates for the 21st Century: what next?
In this theme we considered the outcomes of HE – graduate attributes – and how we support their achievement
The new Theme will undertake a comprehensive consideration of how best to structure and deliver learning opportunities, curricula and learner support to meet the needs of the diverse range of 21st century higher education students.
