The University of Sheffield provides many opportunities for you to develop and enhance your skills and progress successfully from your course.

The Sheffield Graduate Attributes Framework is a presentation of those attributes which the university community and external partners have agreed are likely to be particularly beneficial to academic success, personal development and employability.
