The Graduate Passport is an achievement record; recognising and rewarding students who wish to reach their full potential by undertaking an active programme of personal development over the course of their degree programme.

With more and more graduates entering the workforce? competition is getting fierce? a good degree is important but it is no longer enough. The Passport will help students develop their skills and attributes? to help them stand out from the crowd.

A menu of over 60 possible activities is provided, including volunteering, mentoring, work experience, attending employer events, media activities, business projects, travelling abroad and language taster classers to name but a few.

Each of the activities undertaken accumulates points towards the Passport. In addition to the compulsory Core Programme, there are three structured packages that students can work towards:

The Active Citizen Package

The Entrepreneur Package

Global Graduate Package

Students can also create their own Developing Professional Package by mixing and matching activities from the other three to form their own customised package.
