The resources on these pages have been developed by students to support you to identify, reflect on and talk about your graduate attributes.
They empower you to seek work that you want and believe that you can achieve it. Once you're in the work place, these attributes become capabilities that can help you form workplace connections and excel in your job.
To have a mind that thinks critically about life in general. Self development and confidence.
You may find it useful to explore the different attributes you have developed through your course, extra-curricular activities and work experience. You can download this Word template to map your graduate attributes:

Students who have mapped their own attributes said:
I didn’t see them as attributes until now, I just thought that's part of the module and it's something we have to do. I think being more aware of what the graduate attributes are actually makes you recognise them.
We are proud that the Queen Mary Graduate Attributes are co-created with students. Students and QMSU Representatives were directly involved in the development of the attributes and informed by extensive consultation with students from across Queen Mary.
We would value your feedback on the Graduate Attributes and any suggestions for how we can enhance our support for students.

Reflections from students and Student Representatives involved in developing the Queen Mary Graduate Attributes on the process of co-creation:
I think gathering student feedback and incorporating this into the design of graduate attributes makes our process and overall result authentic. It really stands out.— Radhika Thiagarajan, QMSU Vice President Communities 2021-23
Co-creating graduate attributes with students helps other students better understand and apply those attributes. It also allows academics to create initiatives which improve specific skills students want to develop.— Shazil Shariff, Graduate Attributes Student Intern, 2022
