Aim
The project’s aim is to research Employer expectations and discourses concerning graduate and professional excellence, so that the University can align these more accurately with the criteria of academic achievement and skill that shape our students’ achievement. It will create an informed dialogue between scholarly and professional contexts of excellence and allow our students a smoother transition between the two. Operating within the Leeds for Life and Student Employability remits, the research will contribute to key themes within the University’s Learning and Teaching strategy, “inspiring our students to develop their full potential” by training students to translate academic achievement to employer expectation, and “increasing impact” by making graduates better equipped to excel in professional and public domains of life.
