Handbook Terminology:

Generic skills

Generic skills relate to broad and measurable skills which university students might expect to develop/enhance throughout their university experience. These attributes, which cross disciplines, may include critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills and interpersonal understandings. A number of generic skills are measured in the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) and the Graduate Skills Assessment (GSA).

Generic skills are sometimes referred to as�'graduate�skills', 'graduate characteristics' or 'graduate attributes'.
