In Graduate Success Attributes many different terms have been used in the higher education literature to describe the generic skills of graduates and these commonly include the following: graduate attributes, competencies, qualities or outcomes; generic attributes; transferable, employability or soft skills; and core capabilities
The reason of this subject is :
A number of issues have been examined in the higher education literature concerning graduate attributes. These include the processes of designating and implementing such attributes within, across and beyond curricula. Research shows that, combined with strong leadership from senior management and institutional enabling structures there needs to be a balancing of disciplinary content and generic graduate attributes, and of academic “contemplative” versus business-minded “instrumental” orientations to knowledge. An important role has been highlighted for academic staff in the implementation of graduate attributes in order to take ownership of institutionally derived descriptors and to make them relevant to disciplines. Even generic attributes such as critical thinking and problem-solving can be contextualized to the discipline (and a host of other local factors), and thus, each degree programme needs a contextualized graduate profile.
Basically its a subject a where a student can think about his or her future and this subject help to present him with more advance and well decorated.Here a graduate find and learn his or her own thinking capability and leadership criteria.
