Graduate attributes are the qualities, skills, and competencies that VMC expects its graduates to possess upon completing their academic programs. These attributes go beyond the technical knowledge specific to the discipline and encompass broader abilities. They are vital in preparing students not only for academic success but also for effective participation in the workforce and society.
The importance of graduate attributes lies in their ability to equip our students with the tools needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Graduate attributes foster the development of well-rounded individuals who can contribute positively to both their professional fields and society at large.
