Generic graduate attributes are the qualities, skills and understandings a university community agrees its students should develop during their time with the
institution (Bowden et al. 2000)
“The extent to which the rhetoric of such [graduate attributes] statements actually represents a shared
understanding of the outcomes of a university education is a matter of conjecture”
(Barrie 2006: 216)
“The extent to which present day university teaching and learning processes actually develop such
outcomes in graduates is even more contestable” (Barrie 2006: 216)
