Global Skills are essential skills for progression to further study and future careers. The content covers knowledge, understanding, skills and attributes relevant to both higher education and employment. These are developed by students undertaking tasks relevant to their area of study, which encourage the development of appropriate transferable global skills. Transferable skills are those such as independent enquiry, creative thinking, reflective learning, team working, self-management and effective participation. This will be achieved by the students working in teams to complete a project relevant to their subject area. Each student must have a clearly distinguished role within their team. They will contribute to a group project as well as producing evidence of the development of their skills as part of a reflective log.
