1 1 Embedding internationalisation, employability and inclusive education through graduate attributes: A case study of “A Global Outlook” Laura Dean David Killick

2 2 communicate with the diversity of people they are likely to encounter in the wider world understand who they are themselves, what their own values are, and why it's important to recognise these things in others take a critical stance towards how things are, and to see things as they appear from other perspective. see how what they study, and what they do as specialists in that subject fits into the wider world recognise the possible value of doing things differently recognise their responsibilities when they take decisions which affect other people.

5 5 Graduate Attributes “… the skills, knowledge and abilities of university graduates, beyond disciplinary content knowledge, which are applicable in a range of contexts and are acquired as a result of completing any undergraduate degree” (Barrie 2006, 217).

6 6 How did we get them? Student consultation –Focus groups –Survey Employer engagement and literature review History

7 7 A Global Outlook Inclusivity Global Relevance A global outlook Enabling effective and responsible engagement in a multicultural and globalising world.

8 8 valuing diverse perspectives and experiences brought into the course (whether in informal discussions, in seminars, or in assessed work, for example); enabling students also to see the value in these; providing meaningful integration into class/group activities (i.e. avoiding ‘tokenism’); building sensitivity towards/ acceptance of/respect for different ways of working together ensuring the student sees how their discipline and the professions to which it relates fit into this rapidly evolving global context; equipping them with attributes such as cross- cultural capability and global perspectives; enabling them to ‘make their way’ responsibly in this world, professionally and personally. Inclusivity Meeting diverse needs AND affording others equal respect. Global Relevance The subject is being studied by students who (will) carry out their lives, in a globally interconnected world.

9 9 how does [this issue or action] look to or impact upon somebody living in a different country, on a different continent, etc? how does [this issue or action] look to or impact upon somebody living locally who has a different belief system, etc? how is [this issue or action] impacted by concerns or events in other global contexts? how will the way I respond to [this issue or action] impact upon the way others see it/respond to it?.

10 10 how does my own culture represent, judge, value [this issue or action]? how is [this issue or action] dealt with by relevant institutions, industries, governance or political structures elsewhere? what are the practical, ethical, social, professional and personal consequences of [this issue or action] for a diverse local and/or global community?.

11 11 Constructive Alignment developing learning outcomes and assessments to reflect both subject content and graduate attributes
